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.

Here's the current state of interceptions with 86 defensive awareness and gold magnetic perk:

I'll gather more for you shortly.
It either hits you and flubs off of you or it just goes right through. You have about a 30% chance of intercepting the puck unless you're literally right next to the player, then you have a 70% chance.

@TheUnusedCrayonLMAO those are perfectly insane. Can't wait for these guys' explanation of how bad your defense is on those plays. HaVe YOu tRiEd tO sTicKLiFt iNsTeAd?

This is every game this happens. I can keep recording clips of this. The offense can pick up any rocket pass in the world but the defense can't intercept slow moving passes right to their sticks or skates most of the time.
No good team in their right mind is going to anticipate a pass and be aggressive to cut the lane because more often than not it leads to an odd man rush.
