NEW TUNER IS TRASH. RUINED THE GAME

Congratulations EA! You managed to turn a perfectly good game into a garbage free for all with the recent tuner.

Let's start with the goalies. THEY STOP EVERYTHING! and we're talking goalies that have a MAX 83-85 OVR rating! What happens when people start using 99 OVR goaltenders?!

To add insult to injury, the defensive AI is way too overpowered. It does EVERYTHING for the human player. I mean it's so ridiculous to the point that the defense is just making spin around one-handed back handed pass interceptions all over the place. THATS NOT EVEN PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE! Most of the time, the human player isnt even aware of the play your trying to make and the CPU just steps up and stops the play for him/her. HOW IS THIS FAIR COMPETIVE PLAY!? AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ESPORT NOW!

And this would all be fair and challenging except the OFFENSIVE AI IS EXTREMELY UNDERPOWERED! I've tried every kind of strategy in the offensive zone and NOBODY can seem to get in an open scoring lane. Its almost  like the offensive AI goes out of it's way to NOT be part of the play!

And when you finally DO get chance , NOBODY CAN HIT THE * NET! I'm talking easy lay up shots from the slot, right in front of the net MISS FAR AND WIDE, CONSTANTLY! Even the 85+ OVR ELITE snipers just cant seem to get a decent shot off. and even if they did the 83 OVR goalie is likely to make highlight real saves several times a game.

I'm not even going to talk about the pokechecks but to summarize the game plays like a clusterfuck pinball machine now so good going 😀👍

Right now, The games outcomes are determined by the the AI and lucky bounces and breaks. SKILL HAS NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER!

GOOD GOING EA! REALLY! KEEP SELLING THOSE SLOT MACHINE RHETORIC PACKS IN THIS LEARN TO GAMBLE MEANINGLESS PINBALL SIMULATOR! The NHL should be ashamed!
