I’ve been playing NHL since 94. This version just may be the worst they even created.
1- they changed a bunch of the basic functions and moved them around
2- the “hot” button function is useless
3- the “one timer” which was famous since 94 glitches often.
4- the AÍ won’t grab the puck and you see both team skating around trying to grab it
5- the AI just bunches up into a pile around the next. You have to keep spreading them out manually
6- the skating motion and speed burst seem off
Seems like they put a lot of work in with little success. I enjoy 23 more even with its known glitches
