Hitting is out of control.
The hitting in every game mode is totally absurd. There are gigantic open ice hits every few seconds in this game and it's starting to feel like NHL Hitz. This is fine for 3s eliminators where it mak...

@Homie45677654 Playing defense is hard enough.. but now you have forwards boarding, charging, interfering, getting huge hits not being lined up properly etc..
So now as a defenseman you pass the puck and start going up to the blue line a couple seconds after the forward charges at you and now you can’t get up for 6 seconds.. now as a d man you’re completely taken out of the play

Most of you are just made bad plays and hold on to the puck too long. We all end up doing it at times. And when you claim to be facing away along the boards it means you turned last second and /or the player has enough speed they run into you without pressing the right stick. But please post videos of these actions.
And learn RPG elements where attributes matter, speed matters/momentum matter.
I don't care if someone chooses to be some mongoloid hitter; they're in their right to do so, but what absolutely chaps my behind is the fact most of em are allowed to destroy people late without any repercussions. I'm not entirely sure whether to blame EA Sports or Truculence itself.
Like, the end of round stat screen from one of my last games shows a team got 30 hits on us but a good 10 of those should have been penalties and another 5 at least were borderline. Couple that with the fact goalies are somehow even worse this year, they are a force to be reckoned with - While it is a slow and kind of boring process, I totally understand why teams do it. Laughable that EA keeps bringing up meta builds/styles being a bad thing, yet they're the ones forcing it on us.- @TTZ_Dipsy Penalties for charging probably toned down and then figure in discipline it probably lets for a later hit. When I'm not a center I put all my stuff into it for my PWF who has 90 checking and strength. For the most part I've learned how late I can hit.
We sure as hell know that stick lift is super sensitive this season. But they aren't gonna make any changes this year so can only hope for a different checking experience next year but I wouldn't hold onto that hope.
