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

@Dalytrev What Aljo says is actually incorrect. Skating for too long before hitting, without slowing down is why you take charging penalties. You can stand still or glide and charge your hits as long as you like. The main thing is if you have been skating more than a few strides, you need to release the left stick (i.e. glide) before you hit someone. That part is actually a real rule, see 7.4.ii from the comment above.
I was implying that you're still taking strides. I'll be more specific in the future.

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.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. That doesn't look like a leap to me. His skates aren't leaving the ice. Like I said, the shoulder is dipped and thrust up. If they were leaping and leaving the ice, it would be a penalty.

You can easily test this theory: stand up straight and then dip your shoulder and thrust it up. Does your momentum from "thrusting up your shoulder" throw you five feet across the room? If not, why would it happen on the ice?

40 years on skates, NOT how that works. Don't make me break out Newton's third law of motion.

So blades on ice create just as much friction as shoes on a carpet? Please, break out Newton's 3rd and educate us.
I'm literally showing a gif of the player taking strides after a hit and you're saying 'that's not how that works'.. I honesty don't get it lol

I really don't think that's 5 feet. Regardless, it's not the leap you're claiming it is. If it were, it would be a penalty.

You're so close!
This is exactly right. Throwing a body check shouldn’t send you flying across the ice. They’ve done this on purpose so little crybaby can use skill builds and not have to worry about the physical players. It’s just ea dumbing down the game. Why not have a little baby mode and a big boy mode. Let the kids play ringette let the adults play hockey.
