NHL 24 Difficulty Feedback
Seriously guys, there is no need to make the game this hard. It's not in the slightest bit enjoyable.
I'm no noob to the game, been playing it for 30+ years.
Rookie is like playing Superstar ...

I respect that EA wants to present a different challenge this year but it’s too much. They made the goalie superhuman
Instead of slowing the game down, making passing more difficult, making shots slower, making the players skate at inhuman pivots and deking, etc. they've opted to just crank up goalie save reactions to make it seem as if they don't suck by getting scored on by every shot because it's so bloody easy to create high danger chances.
This is the first time that I have played NHL since the PS3 2015 version and playing anything in the HUT section offline as I will not pay sony for the rights to play online for a rediculous amount of money that is unnecessary to charge for online play. Then EA is charing for certain online content as well with EA Live. Anyways, I have found that with an 86 overall team at the moment on PRO I am having grave difficulty playing a 77 overall team, my skaters when I pass the puck either skate away from the puck or the puck goes no where near my team. I had many instances where I go into the attacking zone and none of my players are there. The cpu on my team doesn't go to the loose puck and one-timers are the most irritating thing to try and convert. I have found that on my team lest a player is above 90+ they are slow in responsivness in every capacity delayed in moving in the opposing direction sluggish at best to move any what fast. The cpu/AI oppposing team with less overall seems to make hits and checks when I am not even close and execute everything possible the cpu on my team cannot. I was hoping to try HUT for a fun experience however the only light is the HUT rush component, and some of the HUT moments (others are ridiculously untouchable), but the HUT offline single player has to be the most frustrating to play and I have lost 3 in a row between pro and semi-pro against teams less than 83 overall. Most demoralizing aspect of the game, and it sucks and the game play settings have no bearing in the HUT mode in any regard. So I may just have to stop playing in this specific section as it is not worth the pointess stress of a game with no significant value it adds to life what so ever.
