You summed it up perfectly the only thing you are missing is they did not bring back "match team size" in NHL 26 after removing it from NHL 25 which no one asked for. This dev team is incompetent and completely out of touch with what the community wants.

Admittedly I was thinking of game-play but yes, not bringing back the ability to match team size is another odd choice.

I disagree here. I don't think the state of the game is due to lack of skill on the part of the devs or an inability to implement their vision of what the game should be. I think what we have right now is the game they want. A fast, twitch-based game full of "wow moments" with an emphasis on individual play instead of team play. I don't know if that's what they believe the majority of the player base wants ( maybe they do, I could be the one out of touch ) or if they're trying to bring in new players and they think that's the style of game that demographic wants. Either way, here we are.

NHL 23 was nearly the end of the group I play with. The goalies were terrible and the ballerinas were running wild. The next couple of games moved in a good direction. They weren't perfect, but the progress was there. NHL 26 is a major step in the wrong direction IMO.
