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...

Once again, I'm providing clips that show that flipping the puck works and once again I'm met with "no no no not like that, like this (insert extremely specific situation that if I don't execute it pixel for pixel in a clip, I'll be told I'm 'not doing it the way you asked for)"

This IS the same play, minus the faceoff win (which is irrelevant) and this is on the forehand. Same exact rules apply:
and just to be clear - I've always said the current flip puck could use some more velocity, but it still works if executed properly.

It’s not the same at all. The faceoff is important because when you’re on the PK you don’t have the space and time to dump it out like in your clips. In your clips you don’t have an opposing Dman standing at the blue line along the boards. You also don’t have an opposing forward coming straight at you.
I’m talking about while on the PK and the faceoff is in your zone.
Defensive zone face off to the right of my goalie.
As a left handed Dman, my C has to win it straight back to me or even better to the corner. Then I can take a couple strides towards the puck ready to back hand flip it out as soon as I get it. Usually the opposing LW is forechecking me as soon as the face off is won so the puck is on my stick for maybe a second or two before I need to flip it out to not lose possession. Currently I can still attempt this but it’s not effective anymore due to it being nerfed to the point it only goes as far as the blue line where the opposing Dman can easily intercept it. Previously I use to be able to get it up and over the opposing Dman even almost to the centre ice line.
That is the difference.
The speed and execution of this particular play is like the offensive zone faceoff (left face off circle) which is won back to your left handed RDman in the middle for a one timer. That hasn’t been nerfed though. I wonder why? 😏
