As a Dman who has had the pleasure of playing on a very good 6s club, against the top clubs in the world... and had success..... I can 100% stand by this point that the stick lifting and poke checking are MISERABLE and need a significant buff. This is very sad considering they finally had stick lift in a good place!

Those vs clips mean absolutely nothing. I could post videos all day of me making great defensive plays against top 10 club 6s teams but that does not mean it's working well.

Give us our tools back. Defense already has it pretty rough in this game! We need tools that work as intended.

Pokes and lifts were great last year, especially in the end life of 25. I just don't understand how that didn't translate over to the new game.

Also, thanks for calling out the clips. I look at those clips posted here and there's no way any player in the upper echelon of competition in this game is going to skate and/or defend like that. Period! The skaters I see right now are the ones with wheels, elite edges and can LT glide-turn-twirl.

How can people's defensive play be criticized when this game is as broken as something like this?
