Game play is just awful right now
I cannot pick the puck up ever, it just bobbles around constantly. The puck will be loose and my icons lidstrom with quick pick active will be spinning around with it between his legs until my opponent comes and gets it.
There's been at least 10 times where I line up a hit but my guy somehow gets magnetically attracted to an opposing player near the puck, causing me to take an interference penalty.
My guys simply refuse to ever get off the ice, especially in overtime. I played 2 ranked games where I went to OT and lost because my guys would not get off of the ice.
Anytime there is a loose puck after a hit or poke check, all of my other skaters retreat away from it except for the one who is off balance after throwing the hit, which just allows my opponent to gain possession back. Also, 90% of the time you pass it out with your goalie, your defenseman will skate 3 strides away, allowing your opponent to easily get possession back.
Also, trying to complete a pass seems way more difficult than before. You will have a clean passing lane and your opponents CPU defender will teleport forward 10 feet with his stick out and intercept it.
Trying to switch your player to another who is already skating toward the puck causes them to stop dead in their tracks and then start again, making it so you just barely lose every race for a loose puck
It feels borderline impossible to score a goal, I have 99 mcdavid with quick release and I cut out infront of the net and aim far side and my opponents goalie does some super fast glitched animation to get across and rob me.
