Is anything being done about Truculence?
Please can someone from EA explain how truculence is balanced for 3v3 club play, would love to hear a response… You guys nerfed stick checking for 23, yet truculence remains just as good if not bett...

Whoever honestly made the decision to take checking penalties out of 3v3, when it’s not being actually deemed an “arcade mode” which is what 3s eliminator is for, should honestly be fired, and/or never be taken seriously again when bringing an opinion forward at EA.
Hitting is pretty much the only effective defensive tool we have left, and without truculence its pretty inconsistent. That said, assuming what folks are saying is true about late hits, and other non-calls happening. I am totally OK with pens being enforced as they should
@IceLion68The hilarious thing is that hitting isn't even defense. It's an all-or-nothing play that takes you out of position. And you never see it in real 3v3 in the NHL because it would almost always result in the player ending up in Narnia.
