Charging penalties from from holding your hit for too long. Try throwing your hits when you're closer to the player.

That doesn't really make sense. I guess you could make a case for iii, but the new mechanic where we crouch down and leap into people is actually is textbook charging. Holding circle to crouch and letting it go to jump into a check is the number one thing on this list.

When you hold your hit, you're either holding the button down or pulling down on the stick. Holding that for too many strides can cause a charging call.
The new mechanic has you dipping your shoulder and then pushing it up into the player. I'd like to see where someone is crouching down and then leaping into the player so I'll eagerly await that video.

"Eagerly await" no more, because here it is:

Do you see the way he leaps from a standing position to check? I'm not even skating and he travels 5 feet from the momentum alone after every hit from jumping so hard. You bodycheck by tucking your elbow and using your speed to hit the player, you don't jump up elbow-out at the point of contact. Look at how far he throws his elbow out with every animation!
It's just wrong. It's all wrong, this isn't how you bodycheck in hockey. It should be reverted to last year's hitting immediately.

Right but when I'm skating backwards and I'm holding back and then hit forward that's not charging.. I understand if that's how the game puts it. There's just some tweaking that needs to happen with the hitting.. also, the shot hit is ridiculous... By this I mean when I'm going to take a shot and someone pokes me so my player then cross checks someone

Wait can we cancel our hits now?
- BabyPuncher5252 years agoRising Vanguard@TheUnusedCrayon If your using the right stick to go for a shoulder check you can cancel by not following through with the up motion. As far as I'm aware if your using the face button to hit with total control anytime you press it you will at least be getting a shove animation. The right stick method imo is superior for this reason alone.
