The pressure meter garbage is still way too overpowered. It lowers attributes too much, it has too much of an impact on stamina, it should go to half meter once the puck leaves the zone or the goalie covers the puck or there is a whistle (doesn't completely reset/end the meter).Puck dumps/flips are still way too weak. Teams should be able to reliably clear the puck from their zone on the PK or when the pressure meter is full. Purposely nerfing it just to make things easier on offense is a joke, especially when the defensive tools are all weak currently.Just completely remove the shoving. It causes people to get interference penalties in the offensive zone, and on defense it prevents people from manually aiming poke checks while taking them out of the play because they are slowed down while shoving the air.For the love of god change how the WOC menus work, it feels like I'm in the 90s again using dialup internet. This is completely unacceptable for 2023.Sadly I didn't get a clip of it but I was playing a 3v3 quickplay game, our team scored on a penalty shot, the other team paused the game, and while we were paused someone on the other team was able to keep playing and scored a goal while we were stuck in the pause menu. Not sure if this is an exploitable thing or just a rare random bug.

So there’s a few glaring issues with gameplay both offline and online. Pressure system in concept is great, it builds a tad too quickly still in my opinion. Which moves to the larger issue, the debuff received is a bit too much especially since it doesn’t end of the defensive team carries the puck out of the zone. You can manage to go from defensively hemmed in to trying to forecheck in the other zone with puck control, but STILL be experienced the nerf effect until the Pressure timer is done. That’s a bit backwards and just hurts the team finally fighting back. Shouldn’t be that hard to implement a code in the game to register the defensive team clears own blue line, debuff removed. The other huge issue, it’s far too easy to lose the puck, not pickup the puck, regardless of the stats related to those movements. Often you can be sneezed on and just give the puck to the other team. You could be battling for a rebound and just, not shoot/get the puck despite being on top of it and uninterrupted. Those two things are super painful so far, another note, can the celebration cutscenes be turned off in offline PLEASE. They’re beyond immersion breaking, online, fine I get having them, offline they’re just bad and break game flow entirely. Also small things, defensemen are too easily blown past/AI dmen are brainless and go for pokechecks at center ice too much leading to odd men rushes as they can’t adjust. Flip passing for zone clearing on the PK literally doesn’t work.

@NHLANDERS the puck flip being under powered has been purposely nerfed ,stupidest thing they've ever done ,just once again showing the no nothing about hockeyAnd no you can't turn off the pressure meter on the ice

If I am reading the patch notes correctly, only puck ragging was reduced to fill the meter up? Shots were actually strengthened? Good call on the puck ragging part, but the meter already fills up 3/4 of the way with one shot. Add in 2 or 3 passes, it was activated in no time and the defensive team, especially goalies were useless.

Is the human goalie spinning bug being fixed in this patch? Something is completely broken after entering free skate.
Goalie starts spinning like a top with any amount of input on the left stick. Is there any known fix for this, because as of now I can't play goaltender at all in any mode.

@de4c0nfr05t I'm not surprised anymore. Constant bad decisions that makes the game more like NHL Threes in all modes.

Ya I'm not talking about the old controls though. There's currently a bug with the tether system for some that is causing the goalie to spin in circles when giving input with the left stick while trying to follow the puck carrier. It's completely unplayable at the moment for myself and others that have reported this happening to them.

@orgf6n02uoqz Yeah this is a massive oversight. When you hold LT, there should be an automatic negate of hitting.

They changed 1Ts to only manual, which is good, but when the puck is loose in front of the net and 5 people are chipping at it, you are getting 10 elbows flying up in the air like it's Royal Rumble.

That was a necessary feature for cluttered areas where several people are making a play on the puck.

Hello
please add hybrid controls back in this update tonight. It is very unenjoyable to play the game with controls that are not familiar and that i have been using every year since a kid. It has made the drop of this game very unenjoyable.

Exactly my thoughts. I received the game yesterday, played a few games but I had so much trouble. Like even after a few games I had trouble to find the right buttons..
