Why I don't like NHL 24
These are all from the same game but my issue is that this is every game I play. These are just the goals let alone the myriad of other issues I have with the game. https://youtu.be/8HG8j0Q2j_U?si=x...

@KidShowtime1867 I'm going to disagree just a smidge about #20 getting open. He's open, but he's not useful. He's just too close to the puck carrier. A pass to #20 there wouldn't have put the puck in a significantly better scoring position or forced the defenders or goalie to adjust. He also cuts off his teammate from moving into that space with the puck.
IMO as soon as that puck was picked up below the goal line #20 should have been backing off towards the hash marks instead of the faceoff dot. This would still keep him open but would make him an actual threat if he got a pass which would make both him and the player with the puck threats the goalie and defenders would have to worry about.

You're right, but I'm not claiming anything about his usefulness. OP says the centre "doesn't make a move to get open" and I'm just pointing out that he actually does.
I would argue that the proximity of the C makes for a great give-and-go play.

You're right, but again - OP is claiming the a.i. just isn't getting open and that any passes would've been "easily defended".
