I have played this game since 92. It hit its peak in 2014 and had not recovered since. I play chel and the gameplay is broken due to poor ai defenders, X factors and the same cheese goal. EA devs are aware of these issues but refuse to fix them. The game does not work when you try and play real hockey, but instead allows players to cherry pick or blow by useless defenders stuck skating slowly trying to get back into proper position. The goalies never react properly to the same fake one way shoot the other, specially on the backhand. I keep buying this game in hopes EA will make a real hockey game for hockey players. Stop making nhl blitz and get back to what made this franchws successful from the beginning.
