@KidShowtime1867wow you actually believe everything is fine huh... keep watching please.
UnusedCrayon posted a dozen videos, at least half of which are absolutely undisputable proofs that the intercepting is terrible. Don't just cherry pick the one or two you can argue, that's kind of dishonest.
Also we get it, sometimes people are fractionally off the passing lane and perhaps they're moving a bit too much at the split second where they should've kept quiet for the animation to engage but come on... to completely dismiss the fact that the intercepting is way underpowered compared to the offensive players ability to handle any pass at any speed facing any direction is just cognitive dissonance. Look at all the videos please.

I've never said "everything is fine". There are issues with the game, but when someone is spamming poke check and claiming everything is "broken", I'm gonna call it out.

I don't have time to dissect and capture 20+ videos. I watched them all, narrowed in on a few of them to showcase they were spamming poke check (which is 100% true) which is a common theme throughout the videos.

. This game has evolved into a twitch-skill game, which means small adjustments can make a huge difference. I love that about this franchise. But it also contributes to anger within the community when new elements are introduced (new controls, mechanics, etc) that people don't take time to learn before casting them away as "useless, broken' etc etc

It's exactly what you did and i've proven it via video. You cannot deny you weren't holding body check when the animation that is triggered when you hold body check is literally playing out. Sorry man, I'm not trying to be mean or anything here I'm just pointing things out as I see them.
Passes will go through you in those situations because your player "isn't ready for them".
You need to pressure the puck handler or go shove the recipient out of position.

1. Teal hits the brakes and initiates a poke check, which negates any chance of intercepting
2. Teal initiates a backskate away from the net. I'd like to see puck disruptions added while the backskate initialization sequence plays out, so I'm kinda on your side here:
3. Finally, here's green - activley skating AWAY from the shooter as he scores

Green is constantly hustling, changing direction - essentially in a frantic state - which lowers the chances of intercepting

You're just lying on the ice. When you do that, you have to expect the puck might find a way under you, and it did:

Not sure what the issue is here. Red on the other team could've gained possession, but it's possible the pass was charged up quite a bit. Either way, they disrupted the play and I don't see anything wrong here.
when I played D in college, laying down usually resulted in pucks hitting my solid body...thats just me though..

Watch it again, The puck goes under his body on the way down. When you laid down while playing D in college, was your body instantly flush with the ice the moment you decided to lay down? Or was there a period of time between when you decided to lay down and when your body was flush to the ice, that the puck could've travelled under your body?

Not really since we wear pads when we play hockey so you dont go to the ground like an eldery man falling and trying to not get hurt...you just drop drop down and become flush with the ice...he initiated the fall right before release...more than enough time to become flush from that far out
