"The skating was less realistic in NHL 14. Moving laterally had your skates staying on the ice. Which is physically impossible. NHL 14 also had more assistance from the game. Pucks weren't so loose. The puck was glued to your stick when taking slapshots. Passes her more on target as well. You're certainly entitled to your opinion that gameplay mechanics are less realistic now, but that really isn't the case. I'm also not saying it's a 1:1 recreation of the real-world sport. This is a video game after all."
Whatever they did in NHL14 they should be striving to get back to, because it was a better, funner video game to play.
This is why I've always said that while people ask for realism, that's not really want they want. They want a game that is more fun than real. We try to create a balance of fun and realism, but this is subjective as not everyone has the same idea of what makes the game fun.

Oh I agree, you can't please everyone!
NHL14/15 is/was beloved though, so EA knows what makes a good Hockey video game and what people want. They just need to figure out how to get back there game play and feature-wise on these new gen machines with the new engine.
- @de4c0nfr05t Feature wise, sure you can make that argument. Gameplay wise though? Forget that. The game is trash in comparison to now gameplay wise. Go watch an NHL 14 game and you will see how painful it is. Its night and day of a difference.
@hiperayCouldn't disagree more. I still played NHL15 online up until they shutdown the servers a couple year ago. Just so much funner, especially playing goalie.
Exhaust Engine has always been there. It’s certainly in NHL23. The cpu can become dominant in the offensive zone and ramp
up their speed of passes. It’s almost like it was a bug that they decided to make into a feature! I don't know why people so hyped every year before than be disapointed. Maybe many forgot about last years removing of presentation.
- @nhluser New goalie animations are one thing, but this offensive power engine seems for me more or lesser a marketing gag cause from my sight it is in at NHL23. I clearly can watch it in true broadcast mode. They should give me a new roster update for NHL 23 ( with some new headshot pics, some new player likenesses ) and it will be good enough for me to continue with 23.

Check my Setup/Roster/Gameplay for 23. Spent close to 600 hours on all of this, to bring 23 to the next level IMO 😀

Thanks !
@FroommeyI'm so glad I'm not the only one who noticed this (pretty sure it's in 22 as well) I found the CPU also plays harder in the final minute because it's trying to bridge the gap. I've seen guys like Jumbo Joe suddenly zip towards me like he's in his prime again. I'm not trying to accuse towards anything.
I actually like this tho cause your coach IRL should be pressing you to play harder in certain situations/ sustained pressure IRL can cause a team to play better, it just needs balance so it's not a guarantee/ players are still realistically playing to their abilities. I want to lose games cause the CPU earned it as fairly as me.
