HUT

At about 3:25, this guy claims, "the strategies don't work in this game" and goes on to say "you can have your D set to tight point and if your opponent is skilled at moving the puck, they're still going to get off some D-to-D one timers"

I mean... yea.. that's how hockey works my dude. You can have a strategy in mind and if you don't execute it perfectly and/or your opponent is skilled - it may or may not work out. I'm not sure why this person expects his A.I. to be lights out perfect at all times?

He then says it's "crazy" that "your goalie will purposely animate out of the way of the puck" and then shows a slowed down replay of a goalie reacting to a pass and getting burned by being anticipatory, only to get scored on. He's trying to insinuate this means the goalie moved out of the way of the puck. I'm not denying the d-to-d one timers are OP right now, but his claims that EA is somehow instructing goalies to avoid the puck is absurd. 

"As you get higher up in divisions, the skill gap actually lessens" Again, how is this not obvious?

"Your D will just collapse and won't go to the point to retrieve pucks" LOL WHAT? Why would I want my D to abandon net-front to chase a loose puck at the point?!

"the best way to play defense in this game is not to player switch" Player switching is the best it's been in years. Not being able to execute a player switch to the exact player you want is a skill issue. RT+RS player switching is phenomenal this year. 

"you aren't rewarded for playing active defense" Yes you are, but going by this fella's previous complaints, he doesn't seem to have the skill at D to ensure his A.I. don't act up. 

I'm sorry, but this guy seems to be salty about taking tough losses in high ranked HUT games. He says "the games become about who can get the most pickups" and failing to realize that yea - that's kinda the point dude especially if a person can actually capitalize on those pickups. Who would've thought that getting more loose pucks would mean more chances to score?

Then the guy shows a 3-second clip of him controlling the puck and his AI aren't crashing the net the way he wants. But he doesn't show what he did leading up to that scenario or what happens after. He conveniently cuts all of that out. 

Then, he shows a one-on-one practice mode clip of a player dekeing in front of a goalie while the goalie flops around. He seemingly isn't aware that in a one-on-one situation like that, in practice mode - you're going to get goalie reactions that are different from a live game.

And to prove his point about the game being "not real hockey", he proceeds to show a clip of him being as passive as possible in his own zone and crying about how his opponent seems to have free reign because he "can't hit or poke check". That's a skill issue. And when you're playing a mode like HUT with almost zero attribute parity where all players' skills are jacked - you're going to get some wacky outcomes.

The rest of his complaints appear to be around the economics of HUT, which is out of my wheelhouse.
