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...

@KidShowtime1867 Could you provide a clip of a high flip out which is used for many penalty kills in the NHL and also a puck over the glass penalty, which happens when the player is being pressured (result of a poor dump out using the high part of the glass?
I'm assuming this is a rhetorical question. There are no high dumps. What @KidShowtime1867 is done is adapt. He's showing ways to be successful with dumping the puck. It definitely takes more skill now. You can't just throw the puck down the ice and get a breather while the play resets. There's more strategy to it. You may need to utilize your teammates to clear the zone. Move the puck to find an open lane and shoot it down the ice. You can chip it off the glass as well.
I understand those long dumps are a part of hockey. However, they also completely negate the pressure system that was added this year. It should take some work to get out of that pressurized state. High dumps don't make that necessary.
@EA_Aljo Yes, it would be seeing I have tested this and can't even get it up to half the height of the glass. Doesn't the fact that it was removed make it more unrealistic? You mention a team being tired, that is when you get over-the-glass penalties, that they are tired and can make a lapse in judgment, due to in-zone pressure. That is why the penalty was added cause teams would throw it over the glass to stop play. So, because it removed some of the effectiveness of the feature, it was better to just have it not exist..... Plus if you want to look into it further it could benefit the pressure system more, as the offensive team would keep the defending team in the zone building it up, tiring the players, and potentially causing them to have the dump out get blocked by the Dman (due to depleted stamina *can't get the height*, thus extending it the offensive zone time and pressure), by determining when the defending player attempts to flick the puck out of the zone, the more stamina they have the better chance they have to be successful compared to less stamina and having less success flicking/high dump off the glass. This could cause the defending team to get a penalty for "puck over the glass", putting the offensive team on the powerplay and allowing them to utilize the pressure system more by being a man-up.
