No you're not. You skate right into the puck carrier mashing poke check.. again:
Attacking the puck carrier was the right move, but once again you're mashing poke check and expecting to come out with an interception when this was a perfect time for an open ice hit.
Hitting poke check will negate a chance of interception during those frames. That's how real hockey works. If you've got one hand on the stick and you're just thrusting it randomly in the hopes you'll disrupt the puck - a well placed pass will go right through you. As it should.
I agree.
I play mostly CHEL on now days. Here are some new problems:
HIP CHECKS
This game is hip checks after hip checks. That was somehow difficult to do before but now with total controls you can do it by pressing one button. Its too easy to do and its too effective. Everybody is spamming that all the time. A Hit barely hits you and you always fall down. Sometimes you even get boost when you press square and you can hit a player from behind. Ridicilous. EA also should change those dekes what you can do with total controls.
MOMENTUM
This is not working. Time should be longer. Its not makes sense that opponent have a puck like 25 seconds and then you lost all your endurance. You cant even skate. Your player is so tired. If you have a penalty and you get out of the box you still dont have any endurance. You just doesnt have speed.
BATTLES IN THE FRONT OF THE NET
Everyone knows that there has been delay (YEARS) when you press right stick up (shot). You can get penalties if you cant get the puck when you try to shot onetimer.
For some reason, EA does not want to fix this delay.
Well now its even more "fun" than before. Same thing. You get penalties really easily in front of the net if you are attacking but now defending team can push / hit opponent players as much as they want and doesnt matter if they dont have puck. No penalties. Never.
Now i have to ask that does EA have people who testing this game before release?
This is unbelievable how you "developing" this hockey game year after a year. I would like to know how much customers you have lost in these years. NHL game will probably not sell very well because you are not investing in it at all. You create hundreds of HUT cards, mascots and other not so important things rather than develop the game itself.
Money talks. Yes we can see that.
Lets hope that some other company create NHL game in the near future.
If we can get some kind of competition to the market then maybe EA would start developing more of this game and start fixing those problems what we have.
