Yes, they've removed that as part of their "Presentation Upgrades" feature.

Re: NHL 23 Trial Available Now For EA Play Subscribers

I have EA Play so i figured i might as well try the game.

I will say the gameplay has enough subtle changes that it felt different enough for me and if im being honest its probably in the best state its ever been. Its definitely not the most realistic but its getting closer and most importantly it was a lot of fun.

That being said, the presentation is abysmal. I dont know what they were thinking. It is a great looking game. There is a lot more authentic nuance like the calling for the puck or pointing with the stick etc....but you barely get to enjoy it.

After what i played last night i would have most definitely changed my mind and purchased but with the condensed presentation being the only option, its still a hard pass from me.

Man this is a real head scratching decision they made.

Re: NHL 23 Trial Available Now For EA Play Subscribers

Game has a bunch of improvements, and the AI actually shoots the freakin puck. Been outshot in four out of eight games already. However, skating across the high slot and shooting is still a goal 100 times out of 100 even with slider tweaks, so even though I'm having fun with the trial I think that warrants a no-go until they actually fix that. Goalies feel almost TOO good otherwise, but they can't save that simple shot EVER. Gotta give props though, the game is definitely getting better. It's playing more like hockey every year, but EA letting big glitches like this (and a couple years ago, the easy to do, absolutely unstoppable cross crease goals) slip through is really hurting the offline experience. If they tune scoring variety to realistic levels and got rid of the sure-thing glitch goals, I really think there is nothing major you could harp on as far as pure gameplay.

I can tell it's going to be another year of goalies not having even average save percentages since all the CPU shots come from the slot. Unless you want to go down the rabbit whole of nerfing goalies so much you only see one type of goal.

Also PPs are just awful. CPU goes into some super human aggressiveness so you either just turn the puck over or you bait them into odd man rushes and score easily. The CPU cycles the puck better on a PK than 5 on 5.

Same two reasons I barely played 22. At least Robert Thomas has a face scan.

That would be great,they are already a small budget team compared to the rest of the sport.How can you expect them to better the product.Best way I think is competion from 2k or Sony.

So, this is where we're at now? EA blocking you from changing strategies in Franchise mode now? We're at the mercy of the Head Coach, I guess? These developers seriously are pulling out all the stops to intentionally piss off offline players, holy cow.
