Am I the only one that finds this hilarious?
Yet another update to waste what already is the worst NHL game in its history.
Take a bow guys, fantastic work 👍
- KlariskraysNHL1 year agoHero+@Stubo_NHL24 Thing is in the previous year it was complaints of them not doing anything. They are trying to make more traits relevant overall which isn't a bad thing. Now what stinks about the data is that most leagues ban the use of Truculence so out of league games we still don't use the trait because there is no reason to play with it when you won't have it in your league games.
- phomi991 year agoSeasoned Veteran@KlariskraysNHL The update is for HUT not clubs. They released this week small goalies under 6ft1 with light work and Extra padding. That's why the balancing of truc makes sense on HUT as well and not clubs.
- PlayoffError1 year agoHero@phomi99 Tuners and X-Factor changes impact all modes regardless of why the changes are made. So yes, this does impact club play.

This is probably the best NHL we have had in 5 years. Sorry you can't spam glitch goals anymore and have to be creative again.

Please tell me you're joking about 24 being the best NHL in recent years

Yea NHL 23 was so much fun with constant wrap goals, hitting bubbles and LT spammers.

This couldn't be furthest from the truth. There is zero creativity or skill needed to score in 24 and it is infested with glitch goals, over powered hitting and people constantly spamming the one button dekes/checking
Nearly every goal is one out of these 3 scenarios.
1. Force a pass across the crease for a tap in at the back post. A bit of figure skating beforehand is maybe needed 🤦
2. Cut inside and aim for the opposite side of the goal
3. Hit a soft shot from anywhere in the o zone and 9 times out of 10 the goalie will let it bounce of the pads and you'll have a tap in.
Very very rarely you'll see anyone try anything different from the above. Most people don't even need a full team of players, they just skate down the ice as fast as possible then skate in circles until they have the opportunity of one of the scenarios I mentioned.

Cross crease forces are div 4 players and don't even reach 8 wins in champs because any good player takes out the guy he's going to pass it to.
They cut inside if you chase them out like a div 4 player defending and break your defensive formation.
That's because you play protect the net and collapse and allow point shots while screening your goalie.

I find absolutely zero creativity required in this game. The goalies don't allow for it. The competitive scene is like clockwork spamming the 2-3 things that work so consistently and not bothering with anything else as they're not valid ways to score.
The lack of incidental contact, the visual assault provided by face button passing not to mention the fact that face button passing is now just "bail me out cause I can't aim a stretch pass" passing, the insane nerfs to back skating when using DSS (you know, a control that should bring a skill gap to the game but apparently because it's too good when mastered we have to nerf it into oblivion to the point where it's nearly unusable to satisfy offensive players), the goalies taken out of a basement game of mini-sticks/knee hockey once they receive 2 shots in a possession, and the lack of any noticeable AI updates yet again doesn't scream "best game in 5 years" to me, but to each their own.
Maybe we don't follow the same players, but every stream, clip, video I see shows the same 3 plays on repeat. Would love to see where you're experiencing any sort of real hockey flow or creativity required to score. I mean, the AI can't even enter a zone in 3 lanes properly on a rush, so I am skeptical that NHL 24 requires creativity since the AI rarely provide the proper spacing and puck support to be creative even if you wanted to be.

Again, were coming from a previous title that allowed you to skate down the side flick up and score. You could enter the zone with a hit bubble surrounding you and skate by anyone then wrap and score. Skill zone defending with spamming pokes. 9 different automatic glitch goals.
NHL 24 isn't perfect but it's miles ahead than anything we have had in a while.
NHL 23 and previous titles was the equivalent of playing NBA 2k for the 1st week when they had the automatic half court glitch shot.
Problem is player base became so reliant on CPU defending and glitch shots.
