If you are playing with an AI goalie then it isn't really hard to score goals on shots you know are like 90% goal shots. Also you are playing 3s where you aren't really shooting unless it's to score because controlling the puck is the key. I'd love to see clips of all these goals happening. Overall it's kind of easy to make the AI goalie look silly. Short side goals are easy. Making the goalie jump using LT and some movement is easy to freeze them or make them over commit. Then you add in the X-Factors doing things and it's crazier.
Also I've looked into the cronus zen/xim stuff. Checked various forums, discords, reddit and nothing really exists for NHL that matters. You can create 1 button touches for the windmill deke, the tuck, and 2 other dekes that are meaningless. We already have 1 button dekes.

I feel like the " 90% goals shots " are the exploits/cheese being reffered to. I understand it's a video game but I feel like this year has gotten out of hand to say the least. Never noticed it as much as I have in all the years I've played NHL. Regardless thank you for your insight. I appreciate it.

Isn't that the game every year though? Going back to NHL 12-ish, we had the infamous curve shot. There was the wrap glitch a few years back. Those are legit issues. Giving someone the time and space from a high scoring area is only exploiting their opponent's inability to defend them. Every year we get complaints about specific shots scoring too much. I too get annoyed by teams that only try the same thing over and over again. Thankfully, those teams tend to be pretty easy to beat since they always telegraph what they're doing.

Well look what the cat dragged in. Lol Regardless, thanks for your input. You've already confirmed a few things for my next post, keep in mind this is my 1st post ever, which should says something, I love EA's NHL and care enough to ask for change to make it better. You know that this game is far from perfect and dropping in player count speaks volumes. LT is broken and a problem. Also, I making a knew post on what can be addressed to make the game closer to hockey instead of an exploit repetitive goal hockey.
