This is very comical trying to play "ice hockey" when the game doesn't call penalties for tackles after the situation.
By the way, the AI always tackles mostly after the shot or pass has been taken, so every time you touch the puck, your character has to fall without the opponent getting penalized for it. The game also completely lacks evading tackles or even the possibility of doing so, we have this stupid "magnet" that holds you so that you can't move. At least my character has concrete blocks in his skates every time I shoot or pass, it freezes and the opponent has to kill him at that spot.
Often this situation ends with the opponent scoring a goal with an individual performance (slap shot between p-points) and then I get blamed for not defending... I guess not when I'm stuck on the ice collecting my legos...
In which ice hockey league is this played? Has anyone actually seen something like this in any other EA game? Even my brother who works at NHLpa wonders what the hell this is... So, this really need fix. Now! not on NHL27!!
