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...
Forum Discussion
100% which is why I don't get why we have to review this every time someone like us posts. We're not here to discuss skill-based issues with the game. We're here to offer our opinion on how the game is played and why the game is played the way its played.
I don't think many appreciate being told how to play the game or why you're "wrong" for posing a question like "why are my two AI forwards on top of each other on the post during a 3-on-2?" as that's an extremely valid question and is an easy example of the AI failing to execute simple hockey plays that should be corrected for the betterment of the game regardless of skill level.
It's actually one of the bigger fallacies of the "video always helps" mantra because discussions naturally devolve into "skill issue" nitpicking and we lose the focus of the main point of the thread or video. Video SHOULD help us discuss topics, but many times it ends up leading to less than constructive conversations to no fault of anyone really. It's just what happens when you're able to break everything down frame by frame. That's why I always prefer to keep discussions as high-level as possible. If we can agree on high-level approaches to offense vs defense, or implementing correct forechecks, or how (insert feature here), then video might be able to be used to supplement a point but too often it becomes the main point of the video and turns into a "thumb trial" than simply an additional piece of context.

You are stating it much better than my caveman hockey brain can. A game of sixes doesn't make it any better either. You don't have to adapt to an AI that doesn't get open. However you still have to deal with the terrible way the puck interacts with sticks especially when it is controlled by someone players should not be able to tank pokechecks and stick lifts while standing still which they currently can.
