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...

@MasterB89 Because you aren't play real life hockey you are playing a hockey video game. When LT-ing existed it was a very unrealistic thing that wasn't changed for the longest time. If you wanted to compete at the highest of levels you had to master it.
And yes I had already written up a giant thing on the flip dump and how it could have been tied to stamina and whatnot. But sure we can all complain about how it should be but if it isn't in the game you got to use what is given to you to use. I play defense probably 70%, goalie 29%, and forward 1% of the time. I know that my positions are extremely extra tough and that I need to play a very solid position game with little to no mistakes because my mistakes are going to be super costly compared to forwards. I also get more joy shutting down teams defensively knowing my job is harder than theirs.
We don't say adapt because people are bad. We just say adapt because if things aren't changing what you gonna do? I mean making forum post after forum post every week to month isn't gonna make things speed up. They see the complaints about various things and my guess is if nothing gets "fixed" then it's either A.) Something they are OK with B.) Something they want to fix but it's going to take a bunch of work.
You have to stop thinking real life hockey when you are playing a video game adaptation. It's like watching your beloved anime then they make a live action version of that anime. You know you want to expect things to be just like the anime but they gonna change things for their vision.

@KlariskraysNHL This is an adaptation of a normal option due to the fact it did not work with the full pressure system - removed as it would affect it only - not that it was an issue with the mechanic overall (this was confirmed in this thread). Plus this the wording that EA is using for their marketing is "AUTHENTIC ON-ICE ACTION" this defines it as "Authentic" hockey experience (this if from the front page title of the official NHL 24 website. That is where the issues lies, I get it in ways its can't be full realism for NHL only (as other games like MLB, NBA and fifa can do it), but don't market it as authentic if it is not.
I'm fine if they want a more arcade experience its the premise that they are not stating it that way or mentioning that stuff is being removed to make their featured mode more relevant.
For the anime analogy you used this is the scenario "we added this new part to the story in but we had to remove this character cause they didn't fit it anymore" would this be an okay practice and would we easily adjust to that fact?

@MasterB89Then they probably shouldn't use the word authentic anymore because even back in the PS360 era the game is like 70% realistic with 30% arcade type stuff mixed in. It was said by a dev back in the day that posted on the forums who went by the name RedShirt. I used to have the link saved but those forums got closed.
But I am sure their authentic is that it looks like hockey most of the time. But trust me I get what you are all saying but at the end of the day the product is what the product is.
