Community ManagerHey there, @TasteofChicago91
If you could get some video of this, it would really help.
Headshot penalties aren't in the game and elbowing, I believe, happens in offline modes. Elbowing used to randomly happen when charging, but that was changed to just be charging since you can't really control elbowing.
If you can get some videos of what you're experiencing, I'll get them reported. Thanks!
Community ManagerSounds good. Thank you.
I got a few videos.. what is really important is that teams are using this as an exploit by charging all over the ice with late hits and charging but on each of these hits there was no penalty. Also not every hit should be a monster hit
maybe I am wrong but does this seem realistic?

Community ManagerThanks for the videos. If I have any news on them, I'll let you know.
I have to say I strongly disagree with the request here. There was one a bit late hit, and other hits were just fine. This is arcade(ish) hockey. Especially playing 3v3, I'm not expecting anyone to get charging or boarding penalties. It would be super difficult to control boardings, for example.
I would argue that you can get around those huge players by passing the puck faster, and avoiding the hits. Usually they're not too agile, which makes it easier to avoid them with a nimble player.
@happyhappy42Club 3's is not an arcade mode. Its as competitive as a lot of us can be. I have 3 friends left that still reluctantly even buy this game. I cannot play 6's because we dont have enough people. That drop in 3's stuff with the boosts is an arcade mode. This is a competitive mode to alot of us but were forced into playing made up rules and all this nonsense for no reason.
Seriously, can we get an explanation as to why penalty shots were just forced into this game mode? And why NHL rules were removed to cater to those penalty shots being forced into the game?
Just put the dude that takes the penalty in the box and play 3-2 and such. Oh I bet thats why, the dev team cant/doesnt want to write the code to make this work seeing that it require new code from the regular modes. So then make it OT rules and give us a computer player. That would suck but its a better option than the auto goal nonsense that is penalty shots.
You control the force with two things: 1) your build ie. how big, heavy and strong your player build is, and 2) how fast you're skating when making the hit... unless you're CPU player in which case they can make huge hits from stand-still. 🤔
What it bugging me more and more is those hits or nudges from behind which make your player fold like Swiss army knife, and your player almost hits his forehead on the ice. Two things about that... 1) if you really get hit like that from behind, how come you can stay on your skates and aren't knocked down, balance? And 2) I am trying to think of a situation in real life, how that might happen. And the only way I can think of it happening is getting hit on your shoulders or neck... and the only way you can do that would be a cross-check... Sounds like a penalty to me? Although cross-checks aren't "itsindagame"??? I wish they removed/changed that animation, it's plain stupid and annoying.
Generally in EASHL clubs, I feel this year's hitting has changed in two ways, firstly hits seem a bit more "arcade", if you will, big hits are really big etc. With some funny animations too. I don't think I have gotten charging penalties even in some questionable cases in 6v6. I don't even wanna talk about 3v3...
But on the other hand, it seems that it's easier to miss the hit now, like the opponent slides off to one side, possibly by holding his stick one one side...I feel like my hit should have connected, but nothing happens. Maybe the 'hitbox' is smaller or something? I haven't tried truculence yet.
