Stick lift?
So idk if the devs are still looking at or will be responding to these forums but it's pretty clear that the stick lift is broken and useless as it is now.
I (and everyone else I'm sure) am wondering if this will be fixed or addressed any time soon? It makes the game far less enjoyable when you can't even use one of hockey's biggest defensive tools.

Think you mean November.
NHL 16 - September 22
NHL 15 - September 23
NHL 14 - October 15
NHL 13 - October 22
Maybe I should be saying more like late October at the latest, but I'd really hope something like this can be addressed sooner than that, since we know it was working during the beta.
Did those games have a launch day patch like 17 did? Because 17 has already seen it's first patch.
They better not wait till the end of October.
Come on man, do we really need to be doing this already? 16 did have a day one patch, and while 15 didn't have a day one patch, it had a second patch by the end of October.
I'm not going to give any company credit for releasing a "patch" before I can even buy the game. That's just an initial release in my book.
It was just a question, relax.
Stick lifts are a rarity. It's a work of art.
Then again... if stick lifts are the biggest problem, this games done alriiiiight!
Time to start holdling "A"
What's wrong with it is that it doesn't work. There is literally a youtube video of how broken it is. Here:
It's 100% completely worthless. I've seen this myself, and this video ought to explain it to the doubters. It doesn't work. Your stick goes right through the other guys. I've had to modify my defense to just running through a guy's stick instead of stick lifting.
On another note, the poke check is fine. Imo, people who think it is OP either don't like to pass, or they don't know even basic dangling methods. I don't have trouble avoiding pokes unless the other player is pretty good (and I suck at dangling. All my "moves" just involve holding the right stick right or left). Similarly, I rarely have trouble poking other people. When I finally faced someone really good, it was much harder to poke. The poke does not need a nerf.
Stick lift is garbage and is another excuse to complain because... these forums. I'd rather a stick go through another stick than people starting to spam the **** out of it.
Stick lifts are a rarity for a reason. You have two hands on your stick for a reason. No player EVER should carry the puck loosely. Which they don't. Which is why we RARELY see stick lifts.
What a ****ing joke.
I know that when I play hockey in real life I can hold my opponents stick up in the air while he's gliding to my net on the back door (say if I'm on the back check) and in this hand that is not possible.
But apparently COGS thinks that you should have to wait until your opponent is stationary before you try to initiate any sort of stock lift.
It's funny because every respectable player I have talked to about it agrees that the stick lift is useless.
You can't compare this to real hockey, if it were real hockey I would just swipe me stick across in front of me on defense and hit the puck off the stick of anyone dangling back and forth in front of me instead of poking straight out over and over.
