Learn the rules EA!!!

This is not the first and only rule issue with this game. This is not the first time this has happened either. Goals being called no goal that are obviously a goal. Hey EA_whoever is actually listening. Tell me this isn’t a goal. Go ahead I fricken dare you. This is a goal. The puck is kicked from the side/behind the net and then tapped in by his stick. It’s not kicked in from behind the net. It is physically impossible to kick a puck in the net from behind it. As usual every time I’ve included a video over the years I’m told I’m wrong. Even when the community has said no he’s right. So you tell me community am I wrong? Is this not a goal? This game is just so unbelievably bad this year.

    This looks like a good goal since the puck was kicked to their stick. Here's the rule from the 2025 - 26 rulebook.

    I don’t need the rule book shown to me. So not sure why you responded with it. I said that this is a goal. I’m aware it’s a goal. I scored it. I was being sarcastic and if you reread it I plainly say it’s a goal. I’m saying your game once again said it wasn’t a goal and took the face off outside the zone. It’s not the first time I’ve had this happen. When a good goal is called back for no apparent reason.

    And I said tell me it isn’t because every time I’ve  added a video I get the well ummm you see blah blah blah and then you tell me I’m wrong. Just like the poke check video I sent already. It was a poke check. Your game mechanics suck and poke checking is completely broken. The fact it rode up his stick or whatever reason you gave is laughable. You think in real life that puck wouldn’t have been knocked off his stick? Then you’ve never played real hockey.

    My mistake. I obviously read that wrong. We would need to see a better video showing no goal is being called. The video ends almost immediately after the puck is in the net.

    If the video shows a real issue, I'll say so. That other video you sent didn't show a problem. The poke happened when the stick was over the top of the puck. Again, had there been more of a gap, it would have had a much better chance of connecting. Also, keep in mind this is a video game. It's not going to be a perfect 1:1 recreation of the real sport. 

    Poke checking is not completely broken. Yes, I want to see it get a boost, but to say it's broken is just not correct.

    Any bigger of a video and it won’t upload. Also seriously? Why would I lie about a goal being called back? I may be unsatisfied with the game in its current state but I’m not petty enough to make stuff up. It was called no goal. Plain and simple. Do with it as you will. 

    Something that isn't working as intended can be described as malfunctioning, broken, defective, or faulty, indicating a failure to perform its function correctly. Other terms include failing, flawed, or falling short of expectations, which can apply to both objects and plans. 

    That was pulled directly from online about something not working as intended. So fine I will remove “Completely “ from broken but poke checking is broken. Call it “it needs tweaks” or whatever phrasing you want to use but in the end it is broken. I do understand it’s a video game. I’m not an idiot but i am a huge hockey fan. Since you guys have the monopoly on NHL I’d expect a simple basic thing like poke checking to work better than it is in its current state. So would the rest of the community from everything I’ve seen online. So agree to disagree about phrasing.

    So tell me this then. When are these problems going to be addressed? We’re already almost 1 full season into the game and so far no updates on gameplay issues. Is there going to be changes to the XP Path? Is Cup Chase going back to squad battles or be reworked in some way? Are the rewards going to be increased more along the lines of last years game? When can we expect some kind of announcement of an update to the game? I will say as a player since the days of Sega NHL hockey while the graphics and many other things have improved over the years the quality of something’s keep falling short year after year. Last years game was a big improvement in many ways and then this year you took that momentum and went backwards. Especially in HUT.

    Just put it up somewhere it can be streamed and provide a link.

    We'll make an announcement on what is being updated when we have one. Obviously, we all want that sooner than later. I don't have a date though.
