NHL 17 Is Garbage

I can't keep playing this game for much longer. I know well the vicious cycle of a love-hate game relationship and this one is it. Great game but it's horrible, ya know?
Look at this video. I spend the money, the time practicing and playing to have one of the best teams money can buy and make myself into an elite human goalie and I did it all based on a totally different game.
This game they are throwing out there now is described well only by words that they won't let us print here.
It's unplayable but it's the only hockey game. Ten thousand human goalies can all quit tonight forever and EA wouldn't feel it or care.
I probably won't quit altogether or very soon but I feel this is the beginning of the end of a long relationship that has gone bad. It's one video clip of something that has now happened literally hundreds of times.
Didn't Call of Duty just come out. Talk about a needed change of pace. I need to move on.

If ANYONE, and I mean anyone ever produces a hockey game to compete and bury EA I will pay $1000 or more dollars for it just to support them.
Yes, **** you're missing the part where the puck goes through the goalie. Say hello to the ignore button for being a stupid troll. Bye.
Typical whiner can't play goalie but blame it on the game, stfx96 is right your on the goal line and giving him way to much to shoot at, and he went top shelf, not through you.
This is EXACTLY the problem. The game has flaws but that goal was on you moron.
I often feel like once the puck drops all the payers drop to an 80 overall generic on ice rating. How can "NHL" quality players over skate pucks, fan on 1-timers, or mis handle pucks as much as the players this year it is truly unbelievable in the worst way. I have more than 6 Tape to Tape synergy points and my players miss more passes than your shot total probably.
At times it feels like all players skate at the same speed, shoot and even handle the puck all at the same level. Like a McDavid skating, handling, and shooting doesnt feel any different from a Drouin or a Monahan to me. The card says one thing but when youre in the game everyone feels like the same player. Like it feels like everyone is as fast as my 96 Bure.... even god damn pronger has skated side by side with my bure... I dont get it.
Even if you could pay money for a stick lift booster pack it wouldnt even work cause once you hit that stick lift button your players stick becomes invisible and it literally doesnt work. Lets say youre lucky enough to connect with a stick lift, your opponent somehow ALWAYS regains possession even though you lifted him... i dont get it...
You're right its unfortunate that we have only one option for a hockey game...
