Late hits, boarding, and interference..
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 ...

Community ManagerThanks 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 tooI 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.
- @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.
