Eashl 6s hitting penalties
Hitting penalties called charging don't make any sense. Need to be toned down.. how can you put in new dynamic hitting and make every hit a charging penalty

Community ManagerWhen 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.
- @Fadetoblack021 Last years hitting was skilless trash. Hold up and skate into the opposing player? That's terrible video game mechanics. It's not perfect this year, especially with horrible boarding calls and charging but its better than last years mess of OP Truculence
Spoken like a figure skating goof. who doesn’t defend
- @Fadetoblack021 Totally agree with you . Every single thing is so wrong with this years hitting . This isnt hitting its just some strange body movement that is totally wrong and I think that its strange that EA wants the hitting to be this bad . They had good hitting in nhl23 and now this .Sadly I cant play this game anymore this isnt a hockey game anymore

Most every post of yours is complaining about hitting. I get it. You don't like the new hitting. To say this isn't a hockey game anymore though just doesn't make sense. If all you like to do is hit and now don't enjoy hitting, then you're really just wanting to be a goon. Which isn't the point of hockey. So, when you play the game in that manner, sure, it's not hockey. When you play the game as intended, it very much is though. Is it an absolutely perfect recreation of picking up a stick and hitting the ice? No and that's not what is intended. It's a hockey video game with simulation and arcade elements. As much as you'd like it, it's not a hitting simulator.
