CHEL RANT (No, I don't have a video)

Question

Yesterday, there was a ridiculous call on which the replay showed a perfect diving on a breakaway where the stick easily touch the puck before anything else. Perfect. But nope, penalty shot. Goal. Of course, we keept playing. We didn't saved a...video.

I don't have a video for numerous useless poke that goes through danglers. MUltiple time on a single play. Multiple defenders are getting beat while being, at least, reasonably well positionned. On the same play! Of course it ended on the back of the net.

I don't have a video for numerous perfectly timed cross crease onetimer being stopped by a God like goalie.

I don't have a video for numerous successful pokes that pratically always redirect the puck to another opponent's stick. Yeah, you can literally make the opponnent lose the puck 5 times in your D zone...but each time, the puck magnetically goes to another opponent's stick. Boum, in the net.

I don't have a video showing small players overpowering huge guy with extraordinary ease.

I also don't have a video shwoing huge guys skating like the wind and moving like effin Lane Hutson.

I don't have a video showing all the opponent waiting on you and reverse hit your POKE or STICK LIFT.

I don't have a video showing ELITE players entering PRO playoffs. I guess that's fun to get your easy virtual cup.

Not CHEL related but I also don't have a video showing AI opponent in franchise...NOT having any penalty ever.

Yet, all the thing are real and if EA has any employees (maybe they don't?) playing the game, they are aware.

Rant over.

We're aware of the issue with poke checks. I agree, they could use a boost. Even though I'm getting many successful pokes every game, there are times it's a bit weak. I know the team is investigating this.

As far as your other issues go, we'll need video. Yes, chances are great we see the same things and we can tell why they happen. And much of the time, what's occurring is intended. Unfortunately, without seeing exactly what you're reporting, there's nothing we can review for potential issues.

" And much of the time, what's occurring is intended."

God like goalies: Intended.

Small players overpowering huge guy with extraordinary ease: Intended

opponent waiting on you and reverse hit your POKE or STICK LIFT: Intended

And so on...

That's precisely why I probably won't spent one more minute on helping EA helping me.

Nothing personnal by the way...

We really need to see examples of what's happening. I'm not saying everything is intended. We just can't tell from text. We need to see what you're experiencing.&nbsp;

God like goalies: Intended.&nbsp;

We get complaints that goalies are bad. Then we get complaints they're good. Yeah, they're not going to save everything, much like real world goalies. They'll also stand on their heads, again, like real world goalies. That doesn't mean they're perfect.

Small players overpowering huge guy with extraordinary ease: Intended

Would need to see video of this.

opponent waiting on you and reverse hit your POKE or STICK LIFT: Intended

As mentioned, we're looking into poke checks. They could use a boost.

I'm sorry that regarding goalies I forgot to mention: God like on beautiful play. Awful on weak play.
