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...
He is also saying that the guy in the passing lane didn't ignore the puck which he clearly did before switching to him and mashing poke check to try and desperately stop it.
Showtime I'm not saying you are incorrect for what you are pointing out, you cherry pick what you want to show because it fits what you want to say about the game. His guy did ignore the puck on the sauce pass, makes no reaction til he switches and tries to poke.
The reason he skates up is because the players react so badly, even if he didn't mash poke check there unless the pass recipient bobbled as close passes normally do, like the C in that clip would have meaning it would of been easily defended. He wouldn't of gotten there anyway

100% right about everything here. Yet another example of video being provided being a detriment to the conversation because showtime is right about the items he showed, but the first question was about the rush opportunity and that didn't get addressed.
Again, regardless of skill don't we all want to see more supportive AI who can execute a 3-on-2 better than your local U8 team? I mean, I would love to see the AI center drive properly like they used to do pre NHL 21. I would love to see anything but two guys quite literally touching each other on a 3-on-2. These things did not used to happen as regularly on pre 21 titles as they do now. These puck support issues being resolved or at least mitigated are crucial to the flow of the game as they are fundamental plays of the sport. The game cant flow even remotely close to the sport if the AI cant do fundamental things right consistently. "skill" in a sports game should involve executing the fundamental concepts of said sport. I'd argue that should be much more of the skill than your "twitch skills" but right now, we really only have the "twitch skill" element to the game because the fundamental hockey piece is so far off. It would help literally everyone to have that side of the house cleaned up!
