Forum Discussion
He scored shorthanded no screens 3 times in a minute from the blue line with a 84 overall d man just skating in no deke nothing. This game is so bad I regret even buying it. Previous years I've always been div 2 minimum and now I lose games like this constantly it's super frustrating.

If this happens again, can you get some video of it? We need to see just how they're scoring. We also need to know which player(s) are scoring and who the goalie is.
I know why, we just aren't allowed to say. I just beat a top 10 ranked player, then the next game couldn't control anything and lost to someone with a 460 CR.

If you truly believe that, you have to believe the only reason you beat that top 10 player was because it was in your favor. Which, isn't true at all. You beat them because you outplayed them. And the lower CR player most likely outplayed you. Just because someone has a lower CR, it doesn't mean they should automatically lose. There are a ton of skilled players with a low rank. Maybe they started playing late, maybe they don't play that much. Regardless, the idea the game is choosing who wins and loses is completely false.
oh please, this game rewards lower tier players all the time with the most garbage goals ever. Many times i’ve outplayed people like the guy above did & would lose a game 4-3 because some how a guy scores 3 straight shots on my goalie no screen no play no deke nothing. Let’s also not act like this game doesn’t have players scoring goals in the final minute & shorthanded at an alarming rate. This game has strayed so far away from what it once was. Give us NHL13/14 days back.

People complained about the same thing in NHL 13/14.
I'm sure your team is no stranger to the same types of goals. Does that mean the game thinks you're a lower tier player and just gift you those goals? That's not what's happening though. Your opponent found a way to score because you weren't defending them. You let them take the same shot multiple times. Chances are also good they made more attempts at that. Part of success in this game is recognizing your opponent's tactics and stopping them."part of success in this game is recognizing your opponents tactics and stopping them"......Did you even look at that screenshot? The opponent had 5min TOA, with 68% passing and gave up 3 penalties and finishing with 13 shots. What exactly was the tactic? You can't shut down an opponent more than that. If it was NHL 24 where goalies could save something then this screenshot wouldn't exist.
Bro it's January and they haven't given us a single update that fixed the goalies, LT speed glitch, hitting, back skating speed, one tees etc. It's done this year.
This years NHL I'm more scared of shots from the point at a bad angle than I am of shots in the slot. The goalies let in any stupid shot and save every prime shot . It's the only sports game I've played where winning doesn't feel deserved.
I mean what's deserving about beating an opponent because his goalie can't save a backhand floater from outside the circle? What's the fun in going up a goal and Playing keep away in the opponent's zone every period till the game is finished. You could be absolutely dominating an opponent but your goalie let in 4 stinkers on 5 shots or it can be a close game and the goalie fumbles a shot from the point and puts it into his own net. Skill determining wins this year is out the window.
I quit in November and still haven't seen an update to address anything except "rare occurrence" of a jersey bug. Maybe in July we will get a "common occurrence" fix.
This is literally the worst hockey game they've ever made but dude will be in here standing on his head defending it. You can easily tell which games are "weird". Or maybe it's just that there's so many cheaters online now who use mods. Because the mechanics literally don't work the way they're supposed to. That could be it because most of the player base has moved on. It's so bad I've started playing NBA2K. I HATE basketball...
The other day I saw a goal scored from the top of the faceoff circle with a pass. The team had a computer player down behind the goal and they tried to pass to him and it went straight in. Dumbest thing I have seen in awhile.
