The issue is you pass the puck and a few seconds after you get destroyed.. Of course I totally understand finishing your check but it seems like it’s either well after the play after you give up the puck OR you’ll get hit without the puck and interference rarely called. also where are the boarding, headshot, and elbowing penalties? Ive had guys hit me from behind or injure my player from massive checks yet there’s rarely any majors or punishmentnot only that but the game rewards you with too much speed on giant tall builds.. late hits completely take your out of the play especially when the guy takes 5 years to get up.. you don’t see this in real hockey. You see hits but it’s not like this i know I am complaining but don’t you think they should call more penalties on late hits and punish teams for not lining up their hits correctly? Shouldn’t there be more interference penalties, boarding, majors, late hits etc?

When they shifted to penalty shots in 3s they seem to have disabled any checking based penalties that aren’t blatant interference to avoid so many penalty shots. In turn It leads to these guys skating across the ice for major hits, blatant boarding, and really late hits that don’t get called. It’s always been frustrating to me.

@happyhappy42 You can get around the players but sometimes they destroy you well after the play or without the puck. It’s way too easy to just go around smashing people. If you use a giant build you shouldn’t have all that speed and right now it’s an exploit.If you board someone or you are exploiting the game and taking players out of the play with interference, charging etc. make it penalty every time..Teams are getting rewarded with bad hockey and it’s way too easy to square up hits. It should be much much more difficult where you have to line it up perfectly.Let me ask you this.. when you watch a 3 vs 3 Ot game do you see this? No you don’t because what happens is nearly impossible in real life hockey or if a player was going around doing this they would be kicked out.. not to mention the player woikd lose stamina and not be able to move so fast to make hits and keep up.

Hey 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!

@EA_Aljo Ok I will get some video uploaded In the next day or so. I will see if I can get some boarding and late hits ones with the occasional interference

@TasteofChicago91 Sounds 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?

@DominickB3 It just seems like there needs to be more checking penalties.. most of the penalties are stick lifting from teams that spam that too..

I just think timing plays should be rewarded more.. not goons going around decapitating heads.. I will do interference penalties next

Thanks for the videos. If I have any news on them, I'll let you know.

@EA_Aljo I will say it happens more in 3s but I think it’s also too easy to make a 6 foot 7 build with lots of speed and disipline and then teams go around doing it. There was one game last night where every player on the other team was destroying us with hits and some of them were legitimate but I’d say half the time it was boarding, charging.. I had some of my teammates even yell “I don’t even have the puck” and get interfered with.. happens on occasion and more in 3s but sometimes in 6s too..

I think maybe hit assist could be looked at and the frequency of penalties in certain situations and the timing windows on hits after releasing the puck?

Of course this is just my opinion so feel free to disagree but if you go out and play some eashl games I think you’ll see teams trying to exploit a few of these aspects.

I’ll try to get more video too
