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.

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.

The higher the division in HUT the worse it gets.
Watch the world championship on YouTube, the best players are the worst for abusing glitches.

To be fair, the things you mentioned were all included in the way top players played NHL23 as well. Far-side shots, cross-crease passes, and rebounds? They're staples of every iteration of the game. Actually, last year had MORE glitch goals. The "glitch wrap" was incredibly easy to do. Not to mention simply skating around the net and every far-side shot would go in... even if you barely got around the net. It was way cheesier than this year, I think. And I don't think this needs to be said but the "figure skating" was OBVIOUSLY way worse last year because ultra-L2'ing was still in the game.
So idk... cheesy players are always going to cheese. I find the minute-to-minute gameplay in 1v1 modes against dudes who aren't just trying to cheese the game resembles hockey way more than last year. That said, hitting (speed boost hitting) is out of control this year. You can have a clear break on a slower defender along the boards when entering the zone and the defenseman will just go into turbo T-rex mode and become McDavid for a few seconds. So dumb.

It's 100% less cheesier this year. I had a pal who would place top 100 every champs for about 4 years. He lasted a month this year because he couldn't score or have an invisible Shield against incoming hits. It's less toxic than previous years.
It doesn't make any logical sense to say this was the worst NHL when in fact it shutdown most of the toxic Playstyle glitch goals however they fumbled so badly by this new hitting mechanics because even the people who loved the changes in NHL 24 can't stand hitting mechanics and I'm one of them.
I just hope this tuner is because they have one last final patch that addresses hitting. And if it fails then scrap the mechanics for next NHL.

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.

And now you're playing a game where taking two muffins from the point turns the goalie into flopping fish and there's zero threat to giving up an IRL grade A shot from the house because if it's not one of the approved patterns of skating + shot aim, goalie makes the save look as routine as stopping a dump-in.
So where's the creativity?
