    you have to set this slider too

    Pass Speed Reception Effect: 50-65 for safest spot,you set it to 0-45, chaos will erupt in crease, always ask AI , before searching put 'NHL 27 or 26 and ask question' like where out this setting at safest spot.

  • His Cross Crease Cheese argument is incorrect. He states "there's nothing you can do" and then proceeds to show videos of people 

    Being out of position:

    And not fully grasping that you need to engage the open man and not just stand there, expecting an automated action to bail you out:

    Now I agree an adjustment made to the reaction-time penalty should be made so the automated actions in these scenarios happen more often as evidenced in his example with the Orca build , but it needs to be balanced so that players can't just sit and park themselves in passing lane while not engaging the open man:

     

     

    It's kind of wild to me that EA's philosophy has CLEARLY been active defending, yet people still fall back to the habits we all learned back in NHL 12-15, where just sitting in the passing lane was enough.

    I'm not stating whether it's a good or bad thing, so please keep the pitchforks at bay. I'm just stating that EA wants you to engage the intended pass recipient on these plays by way of incidental contact, a shove or a stick lift. They've been consistent on this the last few years. Again this is not an endorsement and I'm not trying to debate what 'real hockey' is or how the game 'should' be, just trying to inform people so they get the most out of the game's current state. 

    Also, poke check is not an 'intercept pass' button. It's an action that, when timed incorrectly, has the consequence of not being able to execute a subsequent action. Furthermore, it disables any automated pickups/interceptions. This is a pure lack of understanding of how the poke check mechanic works and it's underlying risk-reward system.

    He's bang on about goalies and defensive actions resulting in too many own-goals though. 

     

  • Interesting video.

    I play be a pro on Superstar difficulty and when I try to do a cross crease pass the defenders pick mine off most of the time, you have to make a perfect pass for it to connect. I have seen a couple goals go in off the defenders but most of the time at least in my games the Goalie saves it. They do need to fix this with an update because the defenders do have a tendency to knock the puck back to their Goalie when you do a cross-crease pass. I don't remember this happening as much in NHL 26?

  • That is more than enough “VIDEO” to show what’s wrong with this game.
