This happens all the time I will get more clips, in this case you can actually hear the puck hit my stick while directly going through my legs while I am face up to the puck. I have also been on the other side of this where I make a horrendous pass and it goes through the legs.
Community ManagerHey there, @vinnyfbaby88
The reason this wasn't intercepted is due to the power of the pass so your players reaction time was a little late. Also, the defensive awareness attribute is in play so if that is on the lower end, interceptions won't be as likely. Thanks for getting the video. That greatly helps understand what happened.

If that's the reasoning then why can the offensive player play the puck without losing speed here? He's not even facing the play and receiving it on his back hand.
The power of the pass should only matter if you're close to the passer. He's right next to the receiving player. Rocket passes are a serious issue that needs addressing.
Thank you for your reply. For clarification the pass is hard enough for my player not to react accordingly but not hard enough for my stick to change the trajectory of the pass? Yesterday I played with a TWF 88 defensive awareness and silver quick pick. I found that in some situations like this I would intercept it and in others I would just interrupt the pass as in the puck deflecting off my stick into the corner or out of the zone. I do understand the broader problem with an overall buff to the defensive awareness in the game as 5v5 can get very congested in the o zone, However, in EASHL 3v3 specifically I believe an overall buff to defensive awareness would be received positively as too many players are being rewarded for making a bad hockey play.
The defensive awareness attribute doesn’t work right. I’ve had plays where I was in position and the game decided the pass was getting through.. at 99 d awareness. It should never get through if you hold L2 and are facing the pass OR if your stick is angling towards the play and you time your poke check.
So tired of people coming up with excuses of why things don’t work right

This one looks pretty odd. I'll pass it on to the team. Thank you.

That would be fine if the pass power and reaction time also mattered for the offensive players but it doesn't. Different rules for defense and offense.

Thanks for sending this over. The player performed a one touch pass. They didn't just let the puck through or miss a pick up.
