The best thing might be the forehand shot being released on the backhand being gone. That's if it works. We shall see. There goes a few glitch goals.
while i agree that was total garbage and nice to see it go... there's still about 6 ways to score 100% of the time on break aways. but at least that horrible hold back hand while cutting across the goalie then flipping a shot shortside that seemed to be forehand shot will be gone.
People just asked for a tuner update to ramp down the trips. What we got was MUCH more.
I'm still trying to find that group of people on the forums where they said "Hey, NHL 19 is bad we want it to be more like 18." Wherever EA is collecting their feedback from needs to put it straight in the trash.

Tripping is fine. It was made more lenient in a tuner as well. It's not as risky as it was at the start. You now need some skill to poke well. It's nothing like 18 in that regard.
Wow, the fact that there is no tuner at all for gameplay leaves me speechless. This means that the tuning to bring this game backwards to be like 15-18 means it is here to stay. This is the way they want the game to be played.
I am still furious that I paid for a product, which was 19 and you guys switched it to 18 on me. I hate 18 last year, I hate it this year, and I will hate it next year when you try to sell it to me with an NHL 20 cover.
It boggles my mind when sales have been stale for years, you finally release a version that was actually praised by users and websites that reviewed the game only to go back to a version that has been proven to be stale for years.

EA has to nerf their own game because if they release too good of a game, they will need to match it the next year. They are just lowering the bar again. The execs at EA are shameful. Sorry you all have to deal with them Devs.

The game did not go back to a 'version that has been proven to be stale for years"
That's just your opinion.
In my opinion, the game - specifically the skating engine and the changes to hitting - took a giant leap forward. Some superficial elements of the engine may seem stale - presentation on the top of that list - but the game itself has absolutely transformed from NHL 18.
If you truly feel that NHL 19 "went back to NHL 18", then in my opinion and with all due respect - you have a gross misunderstanding of the new elements that were added to NHL 19. You clearly do not understand the changes made. Again - this isn't to 'bait' you in to an argument. I'm really not wanting to be banned from here again so I'm trying to make it as clear as possible that I mean this as no disrespect whatsoever.
If you're playing NHL 19 and think it's exactly like NHL 18 - you're clearly skewed/biased in your perspective.

Fair assessment I guess.
See, the thing is, yes new skating and new hitting. Problem is, it plays just like 18, but with a bit more agility and a bit more control. We are more accountable on poke checks and now stick lifts are borderline useless.
The game truly was very different from 18 up until the 1.03 patch
Everything I hate about 18 is back in 19, except for the wonky pivots.
I am defending player bubbles
I am defender corner twirlers
I am defending short side glitchers
I am defending baiting AI D for back door one-timers
I am defending twirlers getting to the slot for high glove shots. Always top shelf on the glove, just like 14-18. Of the 5 holes to shoot at, everyone aims for that high glove when in the high slot. Don't find that curious at all??
etc...
The game did not take leaps and bounds from 18. That is only your opinion.
At the end of the day, you enjoy 19 and I don't. You see it as completely new and fresh. I don't. You don't see all the cheap cheese from 18 and prior, but I do. I will not convince you otherwise, and you will not convince me otherwise. It is what it is.

I think the thing is that I don't see it as 'cheese'.
If a player gets a step on me and scores from the slot against the grain.. yea sure we all see that goal often but in no way whatsoever is it a 'glitch' or 'cheese'.
Its; "I know he wants to go there, but he correctly faked a move the other way, I comitted.. he got 'there' and scored. My bad'.
But what the vocal minority says is; "I know he wants to there that cheeser, I'm gonna stop him but nope he decided to go that way ****--- ah crap now I over-committed and can't change my momentum to where I want to go! STUPID EA! AW HE SCORED FROM THAT SAME SLOT STUPID EA SUCH GARBAGE"

No accountability.
I will not completely disagree with you here. You do have a point, but to a point. There is a reason people go for these moves. They are predictable outcomes. Sure, they can be defended and whatnot. No argument there. But even when you do the right things and at the right times, goals will still happen despite playing better D.
There are players out there that are literally 2 trick ponies and there is a reason why. It works. You don't need high hockey IQ. Just need those cheese goals.

Ya what he said^^^ BUMP!!
I think we all wonder and hope for this.
Now, will it?
