Community ManagerIn the first video, the carrier is using puck protect. This stabilizes them better against hits. Also, the defender is backskating. They aren't going to have as much momentum behind the hit.
In the 2nd clip, the carrier is being hit from the side. Again, there's not as much momentum behind the hit. They also go in to puck protect right after so possibly they hit that button at the same time as the hit from the side. The defender also looks like they're smaller than the carrier and we don't know the ratings between both players.
For the 3rd video, the hitter is chasing the carrier. They also lose speed when they hit their defender teammate. This is another example of not having enough momentum. If you have 2 objects traveling in the same direction, the object behind trying to hit the object in front of them won't make as big an impact is if those 2 objects were colliding head on.
The 4th clip is more of the same. The defender decides to make a sweeping turn and try to hit them into the boards. They also don't make good contact. It would have been a lot more effective to hit from the front or boardplay.
None of those are showing any sort of hitting bubble.
Community ManagerI'm not just shooting down everything you say for the heck of it. I'm spending quite a bit of time reviewing your videos and giving valid reasons why your hits aren't landing, but you're not believing me. Since it seems my time explaining this is wasted, I'll move on from the conversation. We can agree to disagree in that case. Definitely appreciate your feedback though.
We've been getting complaints about the assumption of a hit bubble for years. This is nothing new.
And for anybody that's curious, I was playing against 3 players that all had truculence and I didn't have unstoppable force on either. Here's proof:
@EA_Aljo do you not see what's broken here? I'm literally skating into the opposition and they can't even get the puck loose. These guys have at least some good hitting as they're literally dedicating truculence to their builds.
Community ManagerThanks for the feedback. As I mentioned before, we'll have to agree to disagree.
I don't think there is a "hit bubble" per say, but @TheUnusedCrayon videos do illustrate a problem. Low to medium momentum hits are having no impact at all on the puck carrier. They shouldn't knock the puck carrier down, but they should still have *some* effect on the puck carrier, ie puck loss, a small stumble, or at least some speed loss. Hitting seems to be all or nothing this year, you either nail them or nothing happens at all.
I understand that RS is a protect from hitting mechanic,
but it's really not the best game mechanics
the defender looks like a blind weak idiot
the attacker is a steel giant who is bitten by a flea.

Can you please explain then, how ai can consistently bump me off the puck from behind? All they do is breathe near me and my player stumbles. Are there different rules for players versus a.i.?

Sorry aljo but if you've been getting complaints for YEARS on things, don't you think it's time to make a change whether it works as intended or not? These things frustrate us yet get left in for years and we're supposed to just live with it. Tbh when people stop buying and people start losing jobs, maybe then some people at EA will take us serious. I realize you control none of this so....let us talk to people who can.
