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"?

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:

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.
How did a video clip help since you ddin't even bother addressing the part of the clip that was wanting to be discussed? He mentions two AI ontop of eachother on the post at the start of the video and you failed to include any commentary on that.

You failed to understand my point about Crash the Net I see. They aren't 'on top of each other'. They're crashing the net. Net-Front is tight quarters and it's easy to characterize two players in very close proximity as "on top of each other" - but that's an incorrect claim.
If you familiarize yourself with the Crash the Net strategy, you'll see why two forwards may end up being very close to each other for a few frames.

No, I understood it quite well and it doesn't excuse why two players on a 3-on-2 would be stacked on top of each other in the same lane. It also doesn't explain why you didn't comment on the clip that OP clearly wanted to discuss, proving my point that videos uploaded here rarely lead to any more constructive conversations that non-video threads.
For argument's sake though, let's say that line strategies do have an impact on rush chances. Can you please breakdown the differences between the three line strategies in terms of how you'd expect the respective options to attack the zone during a rush chance? Please and thanks.

Here is another example. The result of the play is me scoring but, the amount of times I can poke the puck out and him still get it back is atrocious. If I go for a hit he is gonna wheel by me.
I score once again because the only option in this game for a passing option that is viable is the cross crease pass. You wouldn't pass two feet to your right when you are already outside of your right post. That winger next to my puck carrier should either be cutting behind or to behind the net. However he just skates even 3 feet away.
- @llamaverox You can also see it in his gameplay, the reason he has to hug boards is neither his center or his lw get open. They just stand on the defensemen meaning it creates a game of rushes and dipsy dangles, I don't find the game plays well for either team. The guy is hanging board for 2 min of gametime and the only passing option he has open in that time is the point.
