@JammalammalamKeep in mind that the biggest challenges for bad players have always been to not skate into people and lose the puck and to find the open passes.
This year the game was made to suit and reward their style so of course there are going to be a bunch of happy players. By and large however, the competitive community is pretty sick with the current gameplay.

https://youtu.be/lSY2a9ftv0w?si=NZY8htI6MbnMaq3Bonce again, you skate directly at the puck carrier hitting poke check and you get caught
Here is you should defend that:
In this video, teal should've used body check. Instead, hits DSS, decides not to and then mashes poke check again.
what's funny about this is that if teal ended up with the puck here after mashing and blindly poke checking, you'd likely have no issue with how it turned out.
1st clip and the one you showed of how I should've played are exactly the same. The only difference is I'm playing someone who knows the game is broken so he just skates right at me with 94 speed instead of what you faced which is more realistic. My poke check is well timed but the puck gets knocked behind me somehow. Broken.
2nd clip you're trolling. There's absolutely no way you don't realize how ridiculous it is that the forward just kept skating through a solid defender, even changing direction through him, and retained full control. Simply being there should have been enough to knock the puck loose, but the defender also poked when it made sense without any result. All the forward had to do was press up on the left stick. LOL
Then this one same thing happens. Forward turning and skating through me, gets rewarded.

You trying to rationalize these plays just screams noob. Like I said, you're obviously the target audience this year: a terrible player who already skated into people and forced bad passes. You're happy you can finally get rewarded for being bad at the game without having to actually understand how to really play hockey (i.e. protect the puck and make good passes) and you hope it stays like this, end of the story. Stick to offline and 3s eliminator.

Not at all.
You skate at the puck carrier and anticipate you'll get possession before you do.
I back up and force the puck carrier to make a move, ensure I get possession and then move.

@KidShowtime1867I don't anticipate nothing. Pokechecking slowed me down buddy.
Do you even play 6v6? I'll play you any mode you want bud. 1s eliminator if that's your thing. PSN couture2fat2fly
Sorry bro, wrong console. Too bad. Anyway, I'm done with this. Not going to listen to any more personal attacks when I'm just trying to help people by giving some insight into how these things play out.
Cheers!

@KidShowtime1867You're trying to rationalize bugs by scrutinizing in slow motion and analyzing the pixels then half the time you make assumptions on what was pressed which are totally wrong. You obviously want to retain your ability to skate through defenders which I assume is the way you play, which is not how elite players do it.
No, I proved in my gifs what happened and why things played out the way they did.
I don't need to 'assume' you hit poke check when the gif shows the poke check animation happening. There's only one way to make that happen - by pushing the button.
I don't need to 'retain' anything. My opinion has just as much weight with developers as yours does, so it's not like I'm here trying to stagnate the game in my favor.
I do think there needs to be more incidental contact though. I can literally skate in a straight line on the blue line or through traffic around the net or force passes through traffic on the offensive side.
also, I feel like the stick to puck or stick to stick contact is very poor. There should be more ways to tie players up, tie up their stick, take the puck, etc.
right now it’s very Forgiving to the player with the puck and you don’t really have to do anything to retain possession it seems like. I played some offense and I was amazed at how many times I should’ve lost the puck but kept it.
