Passes not being intercepted
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 ...

@EA_Aljo come on, even the most ardent defenders of this game would have to admit this is bs.
This one is brutal.
The argument could be made, however, that sometimes players in real life can miss a puck and have it go under the heel of their blade.
I'm not defending this exact play, but I'd be curious to know the attributes and X-Factors that influenced this sequence. Considering this is HUT, there's no doubt some trickery is at play.
Once again, this mode should NEVER be expected to replicate the sport in a genuine and fair way. It's designed to entice microtransactions. I'm not saying anything is 'scripted' - but players wouldn't continue to throw money at this mode unless they felt they were getting something (wins) in return.

That clip is from EASHL, actually.

@EA_Aljo, I just wanted to get your thoughts on this clip. I'm of two minds on this clip, tbh.

It's hard to tell when slowed down, but this is most likely due to reaction time.

Do you mean the reaction time of the player or the AI component not being able to resolve to an interception animation in time?
Again, I'm very much of two minds here with this clip because one defender lets the scorer past him, the other sticks his stick out to try to poke check, and the other defender just gets the puck slipped between his skates. I could see the justification for that puck getting by any of the 3 players. But, it also feels like a tough pill to swallow when there's a sea of players between the eventual goal scorer and none of them so much as graze the puck.
I understand that these kinds of passes happen in real life, that's not my issue. My issue is more so the rate at which we see these kinds of passes. It's pretty much every game, multiple times a game. It definitely feels like defenders aren't being rewarded for good positioining, generally speaking.
All of that said, I don't necessarily think that these passes should just always result in a clean interception, but I do think passes like this should bounce off skates and sticks more often than they do. I think maybe part of the problem could be a lack of specific blocking animations. In real life, you'll routinely see players angling and positioning their skates in an attempt to block passes, not just crouch blocking or diving.
Thanks for your response.
