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.
