Community ManagerFairly inconsequential patch.
Poke checks and puck interception is still broken and defense still horrible to play.
Goalie tether still resets every game.
still an uncontested offense ballerina party where forced passes are served like snacks all game long.

No they're not. People just think a poke check should work/interception should happen when they're not in position to do so. Look at the clips people post claiming poke checking is broken only to show they're mashing it, skating their player out of position and generally playing terrible defence. There's been exactly 1 clip posted of an actual glitch in puck interception.

if you're encountering "uncontested" offense, then you need to up your D game.
@KidShowtime1867Interceptions are not broken when you can't even intercept with great anticipation, yet offensive passes are received without so much of a hiccup even when the pass is outside of the receivers vision? Do you want more clips, because I can absolutely get you more clips of interceptions not only not working when I do or don't have the perks for it (doesn't metter if I do or don't), but every time an intercept is mechanically flubbed, the offense almost always regains possession and the play continues as if it was never broken up to begin with.
Also, before it's even mentioned.. THERE ARE NO POKE CHECKS DURING THE INTERCEPT TRIES. I'll repeat this. There. Are. No. Pokes. During. Intercept. Tries. I don't poke at pucks mid-pass and expect to come up with it if I am skill skating in the direction of where I believe the intercept will occur. I ONLY poke at passes in the D-zone to break up plays.

I could post the top 6s players missing pokechecks all day in perfect range. In fact they don't poke (and I've confirmed this by chatting with somebody who makes money off this game playing 6s d-men) in good spots regardless of offense because of the miss rate on them.
Wrxsto's quote was, "It's horrible, it's the worst it's ever been" at 1:44:30 when talking about defense.

Professional player saying it's the worst it's ever been is saying something.
@TheUnusedCrayonNo lies detected at all. As a former LG player that stopped playing when I switched from 21 last gen to 22 new gen when all the big defensive nerfs were coming into play, there's no way I would ever enjoy playing 24 6's w/ a goalie anymore. No way. That ship sailed a long time ago. I don't know how these guys do it without flinging their controller at the walls.

More than I've ever seen in the past 3 years the players are raging more and more. The game is becoming less consistent and great plays just aren't getting rewarded.
I have absolutely no idea why anybody in their right minds would play defense competitively this year. Forwards are far more involved in defense than actual defenders. They are the ones using pokechecks, not the defenders. Defenders are playing sooooo passively in this year.
I think it's by design though. Scoring wasn't super high (due to goal line goalies) in the past few years for comp 6s so this is their way of increasing scoring.
