Is poke checking getting fixed or what?

Incidental contact in general is just broken, it makes defense extremely difficult. It should have been fixed long ago, we'll see how long it takes. 

Yeah broken for us. Works just fine when you have to play against the cpu in challenges or that stupid Cup Chase Crap he’s able to do it just fine. For a game that is mostly drag and drop from the prior years you’d think that one of the basic mechanics would work every year. Yet every year it’s broken. This being the worst year of them all. 

Thanks for providing the clip. It looks like you're trying to poke when the stick is directly above the puck. If you had more of a gap so the stick was directed into the puck instead of on over it, most likely it would have been knocked loose.

I'm in agreement that poke checks could use a boost. However, I'm not seeing where they're broken. Can you get video showing a poke passing through the puck and not having it react? Also, keep in mind that if the stick passes through another player/object before the  puck is contacted, it won't react. This is intended.

What's happening is that if you're not directly chopping at the puck ,your stick just rides up on the puck carries stick poke checks need a bump 

Last year this wasn't a problem, last year also if you hit the stick it would also nudge the puck loose, this year the stick phases thru the opponents stick

I'll pass it on. Thanks.

EA doesn’t like when you play defense so they nullify the poke check.

ive been saving dozens of clips when my opponents scores I make a perfect poke check, stick goes threw bodies, my stock goes threw pucks.

the accuracy of the poke check is a joke. 

I think poke checks are absolutely broken. The game is broken. Either take a year off and actually build the game from the ground up or stop pricing this game like it's a AAA title. Same slow menus from what, 2016? Can't use back up goalies since around that time too. The list goes on and on. It's embarrassing. Charge $20 for this game until you actually fix it.

I bought the game to play Ranked but it's almost impossible. I have zero will to play this game because I have to play the way EA dictates and it's absolutely ridiculous. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Since poke check doesn't work, I have to play defence a certain way. Since rewards are garbage online I HAVE to do moments I don't want to do, which are broken as well, for "rewards". I HAVE to mindlessly grind Cup Chase and Wildcard for the chance to make a card via a very expensive set. 

Like how oblivious are you guys to make a game like this? You can't see all the issues right in front of you face?

Can you post some clips?
