Players skating path is odd again

ICE-Q

Yea...not exactly the ice-Q we were hoping for.  This issue is not new either.

Another example of the player skating into the boards on screen left.  If you watch the Kings #24 (top left).  He gets the puck, plenty of room to turn up ice, but instead, skates directly into the boards then up the ice.  This doesn't make sense.

You’ll be told it’s a skill issue. The last few years of this game has just become increasingly frustrating. When playing NHL I often feel like I’m playing a glorified game of pinball. The physics of this game are just broken. They mine as well make this an arcade style game instead of a simulation. Skill or no skill this game has a plethora of issues that have been around for years. $35 bucks for this game is still a reach. 

Yeah, that's not good, obviously. Thanks for the video. I'll pass it on.

If it helps, I've only seen this happen on the left side of the screen.  I have yet to see a player do it on the right side of the screen.  Oh, and I'm locked into "always up" for camera.

Interesting. Appreciate the added details.

Yeah i have also seen this happen mostly to left side, right side is more rare. I play LD and its usually LW or RD bot. Most annoying is even if there is room to pass or skate up, the RD cuts to left side and on the boards to corner back down and stops clueless. These problems were already present in 23.
