CPU Poe check with impunity. It’s really sad that you can set the defender up be 4 feet in front of them, and they poke check you from behind and jostle the puck. The CPU is just once again granted super powers the user does not have 2) the passing feels awful. No matter how long you hold the pass button, the passes come out like a fart from a weak butt hole. No power, no urgency, just here’s the biscuit 3) the defense is so aggressive. I feel like EA did this to mask the fact that the defensive AI is so bad, that aggressiveness is supposed to feel challenging. It is not. I had almost six 2 and 3 on 1’s that were miraculously saved by a trailing defender who poke check spammed me. It feels unrealistic and the AI defense is compensated with the over powered pole check to save themselves from “themselves” 4) AI offensive team mates still just stand around. Make no effort to get open. Make no effort to support. This game feels like it’s wants to be nba 2k. The AI defense hugs all of your players, and dares you to use the skill stick to beat your one on one match up. It’s so unrealistic From someone who actually enjoyed NHL 22. This game is just bad. Not fun to play. Not fun to watch. And ultimately just leaves you wanting more. Terrible effort from EA Vancouver

NHL 23 is a lot better than ‘22… But yet you enjoyed ‘22 more? Lol especially after playing ‘23 what? 3-4 times..

I'm getting the game next month strictly because of the custom franchise options. It's something I been wanting. Finally I can play multiple seasons and not quit halfway through an 82 game season. Now the draft and trades and other of the management options will mean something. ( I don't like to sim games) I'll pick it up on sale. Thanks EA, now make it an online franchise next year and I'll pay full price, day one purchase!!

Buy it today, then in 26 days, go buy another copy and refund your original receipt, then you'll have a fresh 30 day return period, and by then, it'll be on sale for black Friday, buy it again at the black Friday price and return on your second full priced receipt, that way you'll have played the game since launch, but will still have paid the black Friday price. Buying digital is stupid.

Haha too much work lol... Money is not an issue. I want to give EA some cash for adding custom franchise but not full price cause it's not ONLINE franchise. I know it's dumb and really won't matter but doing it on principle. I can wait to play, no rush. I'll pay full price when they add Online Franchise back to the game.

I have EA play but I can already tell I'm not going to enjoy this game. Thanks for saving me 100 bucks Canadian. I might cancel EA Play as well because I was holding out to try this.

I already get EA Play as a bonus for having Game Pass Ultimate, but for the first time since they started to have 10 hour trials, I will not be giving it a go. Not gonna was my time. As it is, it's not even worth the SSD space as a Vault game (when it eventually gets there). I was even given a Key for the Tech Test, and I only stomached a few games of it before completely uninstalling it. It was already obvious that this was just NHL 17 DLC #6.

I'm content with watching people lose their minds playing it on Twitch and Youtube.

I love buying digital, went full digital halfway thru the Xbox one and ps4 era and haven’t looked back. It’s nice to have options so everyone is happy.
