There are many improvements to NHL 24.
cpu dmen ai is better, they now shoot the puck.
In zone defense is also slightly better.
Two things need to be fixed outside of everyone's wishes of removing the visible pressure meter on ice:
1) dumping the puck is SEVERELY underpowered, which creates a double whammy.
cpu and human will have much harder tim clearing the puck, which will make pressure situations feel unearned and cheaper.
Also playing the dump and chase style is nearly impossible now, for both you and the cpu. Please bring the old dump mechanic back in a future patch.
2) add a way for us to tune
pressure situations: less often, less nerfed ratings during thise sutuations, etc.
Thanks
I really like a lot of the changes brought to NHL 24, but still there so many things wrong with it from a defending perspective in EASHL:
1) Poke checks aren't strong enough against players with high speed / agility. Any attempt knocks off the puck for a split second before the attacker picks up the puck again and flies by due to the defender speed penalty.
2) The stick lift is still completely useless, to a point where I don't even use it when there would be a 99% success chance in real life.
3) While two essential defensive mechanics are still broken, attackers can now execute all kinds of dekes successfully at the push of a single button. This is valid even after the latest changes and completely unbalanced.
- @gzell60 I end up playing defense a lot and it is the least fun year to play defense in the history of eashl for me.
