What is defense in NHL 24?
https://youtu.be/xrBxJht0KW8?feature=shared With Shutdown and 90 poke checking, this game still doesn’t reward you with good defensive plays. How was this not goalie interference as well? Defense is...

Puck carrier DID lose the puck but because the defender had poor positioning, they were too far away from the puck to obtain it:
They recovered nicely and put themself in a FANTASTIC position to lay out a nice body check:
but instead, they decide to ride that poke check button, and SUCCESSFULLY KNOCK THE PUCK LOOSE:
and because they actively skated away from the loose puck:
the loose puck left by the goalie (which should've been covered, I'll blame EA for that one) is then knocked in for a goal while Teal continues to skate away:

Yup, at the highest levels.

In the clip, the player refused to use a simple body check. There are ways to stop them, you just need to make the right decision in what tool to use 😉

5 year olds also know that they should shove/hit/check a player who is literally leaning on them 😃😃
@KidShowtime1867 body checking is illegal in regular 5 year old leagues, so by your concept of physics and hockey in general it would have been impossible for that defender to stop the player cutting to the net, through him, because you can't use your stick if not exactly X feet Y inches away. Missed the window of opportunity I guess. Geat play offensively!

He recognized the opponent was weak and not wanting to engage the body, drove to the net and capitalized! A good hockey play. I don't like the goalie reaction though and would love EA to clean that up.
