Hey Jake hope all is well buddy and a big thank you for the shoutout, lol ! Very happy to see that you enjoy the game. I'm on the same boat in case you didn’t notice 😉 I'll try to give my 2 cents in your BAD section to see if it helps, because I don't see a couple in my game…
As for the HUT cry babies, I think from now on I'll go offline before I start NHL23 just in case they screw up the gameplay, lol ! Not a joke…. I mean if there's a patch fixing animation glitches and the little bugs I’ve seen here and there fine, but PLEASE EA, don't touch that gameplay !
Edit: Oh and Jake, if you really love Hockey, try my sliders with my "recommended" way how to play at least for a few games and let me know what you think ? This as never more felt like real hockey to me 😀
