Stick lifts ? ??

If you see the answer to my previous post they say unlikely to happen  in nhl26.  Clearly they not interested in franchise and season modes players as we don't spend any more money after buying the game and if your playing online in teams then probably humans take penalties so they are not moaning.  I can't work out if they can't or won't add them back in, but sure isn't good enough. 

Aside from stick-lifts (which everyone I speak to agrees are useless), my experience with the game differs. In H2H, poke-checks work fairly well, and there are plenty of penalties (at least one per side per game).

Stick lifts work well, but you need to use them from the correct angle and be better positionally oriented. The days when you were able to spam stick lifts like in NHL 25 are definitely gone, and that's perfectly fine. The same for poke checks.

Not true, they are not ok.

In 3 times 8 min periods 1 per game on max sliders and rules set at 4 which is the maximum level is not enough. 

Thats because the staff has probably gone on vacation until 27. EA doesnt fix problems.....they create them!

Your thought of change would be acceptable, if the stick checks and poke checks were at par with the AI. Which.....they are not. There is an inbalance.

EA had better take a very hard look at the structure of this game going into 27. The online play has dropped off considerably. Ignoring a problem in any mechanism, eventually leads to failure. And this game is on that path.
