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...

Are you familiar with the strategy, "Crash the net"?

You mean how the Centre literally skates backwards, in a prime shooting position awaiting a pass?
Watch #20 - Centre. Once possession is gained, he instantly begins working to get open and also has the situational awareness to remain facing the net:

How on earth would this pass be easily defended?
This clip also gives us a little window into what habits players have that are preventing them from defending cross-crease goals.
Watch the person controlling Columbus switch to the defender in front of the net (Good move) and INSTANTLY mash poke check. This negates that player's ability to utilize their def. awareness, hand-eye etc to disrupt that play because the human is instructing the player to mash poke check with no credence to the situation:
This is also a great example of why video clips are requested so much. The descriptions that people come up with for what's happening can wildly vary from what is actually happening. There's a denial that the centre in this clip is getting open and that when he does get open, any pass to them would be 'easily defended' yet the clip clearly shows a crash-the-net strategy and an a.i. centre that is actually playing really solid positional hockey.
He didn't mash poke check the puck was already ignored by his player and he hits poke check in desperation as a last attempt to stop it.

His player didn't "ignore the puck". There's a known habit of users instantly hitting (or mashing) poke check at the exact moment they switch control to a player. That's what happened in that clip and it prevented the net-front D from being able to execute a pickup/intercept animation.
Looking at the clip again, the player actually enters DSS and skates away from the threat:
- @KidShowtime1867 It also goes into what I'm saying the only player in a good position on that play is the guy who just stand low post waiting for a cross crease.
