stick going through legs
Anyone else noticing sticks going through legs while maintaining possession? Please provide some pics and video in here to help me out.

Did you even look at the video? The stick goes THROUGH the leg. How can you have this much evidence of the game being broken and you still defend stuff like this?

Community ManagerI definitely get that. However, the stick is allowed to clip through objects and legs at times it wouldn't have an effect on the play. For example, you can't have the stick clipping through a player/object and still have it affect the puck. So, regardless of the stick passing through the leg, the same conditions apply to causing a trip.
@EA_Aljo can you please answer these simple questions?
why are sticks going through legs?
why are you trying to defend this like ITS OK that sticks go through legs? The other day it was “oh this only happens because it’s an arcade mode” and now perfect video evidence showing that it doesn’t only happens in arcade modes, and you’re really trying to defend this.
why is this stills happening? It’s 2023 and the main components in HOCKEY are sticks and pucks, and the mechanics in both are highly broken in many ways.
I do see that the defender was unable to make contact with the puck and the puck carrier maintained possession. But often I am left BAFFLED wonder how someone poked a puck away from me and 9/10 times it’s because a stick check goes right through my ghost leg. I do not need to provide any further video evidence seeing someone already had a video on deck to do it for me.
what the community would like is for someone to start providing answer, or better yet SOLUTIONS.
TANKS,

They've never said that they're 'ok' with sticks going through legs and there's been plenty of explanation as to why that happens.
- When poke check is pressed, the stick is moving along a certain path (its "trajectory").
- If the stick comes into contact with an object (in this case, the outside leg) while it's moving along this path, then it becomes "inactive" (meaning it loses its ability to trip players/knock the puck loose, etc).
- After the stick becomes inactive in this way, it will still continue to move along its original path, even if there are players or other objects in the way.
- This is to prevent the stick from accidentally tripping a player after it has already been interrupted by hitting an outside object.
At least that's my understanding. Hopefully that makes sense or someone from EA can correct me.
The stick shouldn't be going through any legs. Wasn't that a big thing in the trailer that sticks actually bump off shin pads. Accidental trips are a part of hockey

Yes, we all know that sticks shouldn't go through legs, but it's a liberty they need to take. Remember, this isn't real life and no game ever developed has ever been able to get real-world physics perfected, so I'm uncertain why people expect that from a game based on a fringe sport developed by a small budget dev team.
