Isn't it kind of insulting to the NHL and the sport of hockey

That EA thinks in order to people to be entertained playing a hockey game it has to be a complete exaggeration of the sport? The game is full of hip checks and Michigan goals, is all offense and no ...

Four games of 3's. Four games of 3's is all I could stomach tonight and I won't be playing this mode ever again. It's not worth it. It's actually laughable how trash this game is at this point.

Intercepts are not broken, amirite? However, the forward streaking as fast as he can, without the puck even in his vision, is able to one hand receive the puck that's behind him. LOL. ONE HAND.

I'd like to see the slide show analysis on why the forward should receive that pass like that from people who claim broken interceptions are a "user skill issue"   😃

I'll summarize for you: 

-the defender is going too fast

-the defender turned at the last second

-the defender isn't holding vision control

-the defender isn't looking directly at the puck

-the defender should not be skating

-skill issue

Meanwhile:

  • the forward is spritning
  • the forwardisn't holding vision control
  • the forward isn't looking directly at the puck
  • the forward is in a horrible spot to receive the puck as evidenced by the animation chosen to catch a super hard headman pass

offense has zero accountability in this game.

@Limp_KidzKit They don't want to hear that.. it's all about the forward and defense should be far better and work far harder than the forward! Come on!

Defense is easy! You just have to be in perfect position at all times, use the correct button at all times and if you selected the wrong one you can come to the forums and people will just suggest that you should have picked a different one. Then you just hope you get the right outcome/ animation! Easy!

@TheUnusedCrayon or anyone else suggesting how easy defense is.. can you let us know when you're streaming? I'd love to see how you're playing! I feel I play pretty solid defense but every game I'm getting at least 1-3 passes that go through my legs WHILE I have vision control and backing up toward the forward who is recieving the pass.. do I need to take a knee? Do I have to stick lift because 91 defensive awareness, quickpick, AND lockdown isn't enough to intercept the pass? Maybe it's a skill issue on my part, so if anyone on here saying it's easy wants to stream I'd be happy to watch!
