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 ManagerMost 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.
@EA_Aljo No i dont just skate around and hit i like to play good hockey and score goals too but hitting is a part of a hockey game. So you mean that nhl23 , nhl22 nhl21 etc which had good hitting was just ahitting simulator?

Many of us are fine with the hitting. We acknowledge our mistakes, learn and adapt.

That doesn't mean this game is not a hockey game, as you stated. It's never been a hitting simulator, but when you complain about hitting ruining the game for you and making it not feel like hockey, it seems that's all you're looking for.
Ok. i was just in and played one game in drop in and tried a grinder with 99 in bodychecking and even with that player the hitting sucks . I dont think this is a good or fun game and it is not just the hitting that is bad . The whole game feels weird . And the penalties you get even for soft hits is just stupid . But I will leave this forum now there is no point of me writing here anymore

sounds like you just need to practice and get the hang of the hitting rather than just saying it sucks. Most users have adapted and learned the new ways.

All you comment on is hitting. If you'd like to elaborate on what else you're unhappy with, feel free. Although, you're leaving so if you decide to return, keep it in mind.

I've said this a few times but this is 100% on you and not knowing how to do it. Hitting in this game is pretty easy and most games become a hit fest just like last year.
I did the same thing as last year, loaded up hitting stats, strength, truculence and did a drop and I had 32 hits. It really isn't that difficult. If you cannot hit by this time of th3 games cycle, it is 100% on you. Also, if you think that the past games were hockey because of hitting, you really don't know hockey that well. How many games have 20 absolute destructions of players in a game? Hitting in the past was so mind numbing and easy that any build could hit. This year you have to time it and do it properly and if not, you won't and you'll whiff. Practice and you can get good at it but just sitting back saying it sucks, you want improve.

Here you are again assuming everyone who dislikes the game sucks and needs to "git gud".
And also most users actually deserted the game lol
