Nhl 24 the game for everyone and anyone.
This used to be a game that took skill to be good at. Many of us have spent decades trying to master the skills to get where we are now. It's more than obvious that EA have given up on us loyal fan...

@Destroyer95 I truthfully thought it was bad on release, I didn't want to buy it after the beta got convinced by my EASHL gaming friends and have not been a fan of it.
My biggest complaint is it feels like if you put effort into being active, the game rewards the other player because the puck control is based on standing still. So the more active you try to play, the less success you have. There are some good goals scored sure, but how many bad ones go in before that? 2 or 3.
In Hut it's worse. The only play people do is run to the red line, do a move to skate along it and pass backdoor for a cross crease tap in where the far side defender is facing the other way and doesn't even attempt to cover it, leading to 2 or 3 goals a game.
Point shots that get tipped.
Or shots from the circle, or slot after spinning around or cheesing the non controlled AI to block where you are going for easy rips. As AI won't switch to the guy with the puck if they skate right in front of him. Meaning you have to switch giving up momentum. With Usually the goalie moving out of the way if you get it clean. For snipes that feel cheesy.
Which is what bothers me everything feels cheesy. One button hits let's people hold it to get a speed boost meaning they can run a guy out of position and it won't matter. As goalies bail out what isn't a money play.

100%. Spot on.
All good points. This game has been the same thing for years. It’s not about skill. Countless times I’ve outshot another player by at least twenty plus shots and have lost to them on their 9 shot attempts, off of these rinky dink attempts. The game just has so many glaring glitches. The updates are complete garbage and in my opinion have made the game even worse off. MLB the Show has been out for 2 weeks and already they have done 3 or so updates to things on the game. With NHL we are lucky to get one a month and they usually make the game more unplayable
