3s and game in general.

D is pretty much useless.   the perks for Ds are barely doing anything and the whole game is all about "wheels" and skating like a maniac in straight lines. and then turning on a dime.  LT worse than ever

Goalies are basically a garbage can in the middle of the net.  You almost have to try to get him to stop your shot for him to do a save

3s is completely ruined.   Between truculence abuse and wheels and useless goalies, 3s is unplayable 

But hey....what do I expect for 100$ a year

Might be the worse version of the game since 15. 

So disappointing. 

sadly had to refund.   Better luck next time.

    Thanks for your honest review. Looks like I’ll be skipping this year as well. 

  • I had high hopes for the goalies but so far they are worse than the NHL 25 goalies which I thought would be impossible to do.  They still bite and dive out of position with simple dekes and give up an empty net and it would be nice if they could deflect some in close cross crease passes with there stick.  If not some of those passes should hit the players skates standing in the crease once in a while.

    The L2 skating in the offensive zone is just as bad as NHL 25.  These good players that are good at it skate with the back towards you and spin around quickly and somehow pass it perfectly with there back to everybody.  Just take the L2 out of the game already, it's obvious you can't or won't fix it.

    We played a few 6v6 games and we all found the goalies much improved compared to last year. More realistic animations and less slapstick actions.

    Can someone explain me what this LT means, everyone keeps talking about?

    vision control button.  People abuse it to skate backwards so they come in the zone and as soon as they get anywhere near a defense they start skating with their back away from the puck which means if you poke you will likely hit them in the back of the skate which in this game is a tripping (unrealistic but thats ok if it benefits offense). 

    so in their video they specifically said they were improving this to eliminate that LT abuse but they didnt.  or whatever they did they didnt test because its as bad if not worse.
