I read some reviews and you can easily change "arcade" to "full sim" to make it feel more like the game. "Last chance puck movement" is overused but a great addition to the game. Interceptions feel more realistic now, but glitch goals NEED TO CHANGE. This is something everyone rants about, it is super annoying and you should be able to score on unique and more weird goals. I play on the PS5 and I went over to to my friend's house to play on his XBOX one day, and I scored my first last chance goal with a terrible Jimmy Vesey.
Haven't even done it this WHOLE YEAR (have now) on my PS5, and EA favorites the XBOX because every gamer thinks it is the "better console" when it is just treated differently than the PS5.
Next year edits to save the franchise:
Last chance plays should feel more realistic when you're not being bumped from behind every time, and you have more realistic puck control.
I also feel All-Star skills competitions should be introduced to the game, and you get to choose your players in a certain contest.
Lastly, the commentating gets repetitive, so you can add "choose your commentators" to NHL 24 and you can get certain commentators in hut, e.x. SN commentators, TSN commentators, Bally Sports, ESPN, TNT, etc.
EA, I'm just giving you a 3 star because I feel like you can give us a second chance with my reccomendations.
