WoC feedback - stick lift/poke check, goalies

idk where to start offense gets no pickups no puck possesion you lose the puck on legit everything the game is slow and not to mention defenseman are none stop poking everything and stick lifting me and poking me 5 feet away like what is that LOL why is it too goalies are able to make saves when half the net is open its comical its unreal how many times i have had an open net and aim it and goalie saves it the shots are not going where you aim them please fix this!!! one t aim needs fixing and so do wrist shots. im not saying it needs go in everytime but man at least you should be rewarded for shooting at the right place at the right time why did yall cater to defense and goalies like what is that lol

  • need tweaks too poke checks people are spamming it then getting pokes from behind everytime and stick lifts all the time and goalies are making every save on snipes even when the net is open they play deep and get rewarded lol 

  • Wow? A post where the game is slower and defense is too strong? I might play more this year!

    what about skill poking and stick lifts a timing thing? do you not think it should take skill to do? 

  • I think it should take skills to beat a well positionned defender. Which you clearly didn't need for a while now.

  • Sadly its been fully catered to offence for the past few games, there needed to be some changes to defence to make it more relevant. From the time I spent in CHEL I didn't have an issue with scoring or defending.. I haven't found the speed an issue.. it just feels more of a simulation speed then the overly arcade speed NHL 26 was.. but to each their own, it also make you have to defend cause if you overcommit you are more likely to give up an odd man rush or breakaway, where in NHL 26 you could have a much easier time correcting your mistakes with raw speed and wheels added together. 

    Plus, im actually scoring more goals then I did on NHL 26

    Oh no! Defense and goalies got better. Better run to ea forums and complain that I'm being challenged finally. Like aljo said about the hitting calls, adapt ,😂😂

    Why do that when I can just complain to the forums that offense is ruined. After all, there will always be more people playing forward then defense. "EA, I can't hold the puck forever and I have to move it to one of my teammates." OH THE HORROR! NHL 27 is a team game now.

  • accuracy is based on a circle, your shot can go anywhere in that circle and that circle gets smaller the more points are put into that attribute. If youre having bad aim theres a good chance its RNG based if youre only running low 80s accuracy.
