Obviously I'm in the minority on this, but I'm uncertain how anyone who wants this game to be sim would agree that accelerating from a body check attempt is favorable to a more nuanced and positional approach to body checking.
I don't consider the hitting mechanic to be perfect, but the recent change did add responsibility to the hitter which opened up the game a bit more. But I'm outgunned on this one and the community has spoken. Looking forward to abusing the heck out of this again.
I agree. I preferred the changes to hitting, but obviously much of the community did not feel the same. I'll say it once again, we get requests for the game to be less arcade and then get complaints when that happens.
@EA_Aljo I can see that you reply faster then i wrote it. Maybe try different way. You mdecide switch off hybrid and tune this hitting to be more simulation. Dont revert this updates, because this updates only change gameplay to be more realistic. And yes always low players which been used to only click buttons will cry, that they need to learn something new. But literally, they can play hybrid in versus modes and offline modes, but dont understand why hybrid should be allowed in HUT, when hybrid gives you big advantage.
