Not at all. If you're scrambling inputs at your player, sure. But you can easily position yourself to intercept 99% of the passes coming at you. Again, this goes back to the 'skating too fast' that I'm going to harp on until I die; people are skating too fast when defending too.Bro - the reason why they were 'delayed' in their passing is precisely because I had my stick out, forcing them to re-evaluate their options. That's the point I'm making when I say to use DSS more.

I forced this player to abort their cross-crease, sending them deep into a corner where they were obviously flustered and scrambling because they threw a 'spin-o-rama' input at their player.

Show a video of a puck going "through" you in '24, and let us decide if that's what is actually happening.

I want to be able to intercept passes and have the control of the puck by being in good position without manually poke which is only poking on the puck, not taking possession of the puck.
You can. I'm still waiting for some video showing passes "going through" people in '24.
This is what happens when you have 97 defensive awareness and gold quick pick:

Even when you do intercept it, it just bounces off of you to the other team. Same 3v3 quick game. I'll record more for this build.
