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

@EA_Aljo wrote:@Fadetoblack021 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:https://youtu.be/Gzdj59A9eNo?si=2Lw2kpSSgYrumyv8Do 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.

@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.

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?

@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

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 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.

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.
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

Charging penalties from from holding your hit for too long. Try throwing your hits when you're closer to the player.
Wait can we cancel our hits now?

@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.

It’s obvious to me that very, very few Eashl players are capable defenders. EA developers don’t want a handful of more experienced, capable defenders scaring away all the noobs and winning all the games. The solution they’ve come up with is to take away the ability to defend from all players noon or experienced.

we are all just standing around hoping the puck comes to us, no defence, garbage game that has been dumbed down for scrub little kids.

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.

For this supposed liaison to suggest that a person who delivers 20 hits and 4 points a game is somehow a goon is disingenuous. His problem is if he admits that the hitting is gawd awful he will get in trouble from the dips at EA who came up with these disgusting hitting mechanics.

player need to learn to defend. If they don’t they lose. Don’t take the ability to defend away from everyone to level the playing field. It’s betrayal of the people who helped build your company
