Put the same controls we've had for 15 years back in the game.

Hitting has always been too easy to do - while I don't personally like the changes, the new pullback does increase the skill gap a bit which I'm all for.
It actually does the exact opposite because defenceman no longer have to be careful with the puck at the blue line because forwards can’t Physically strip them for rushes this year,
A lot of really bad defensmen are loving the way this game plays for them in the offensive zone- ei less skill
You could just get better at hitting? Pull back on RS, and push up right as you're about to touch the player. Boom.
@NeonSkyline21But why? Even when I do things properly and have hit assist maxed I still can't pull off consistent checking, they made way to many gameplay changes to the negative this year starting with removing hybrid control (that we now have to wait for), changing hitting mechanics (also harder to time hits even with the button press), the game is overall slower as well.
- @TTZ_Dipsy I've been taking A LOT of elbowing penalties with the new hitting mechanics, so I've started making a majority of my hits hip checks because its so much easier.
- @RelentlessJ69 Yeah, I got called on that a couple times. Hitting probably needs a small buff/ accuracy modifier. It really is just too risky most times. Hip checks are FAR better than hits in almost every way.
It’s already pretty easy. Also it wasn’t great. It was a game breaker last year when every hit was a bone crunching mega arcade smash.. bad players shouldn’t be rewarded
- @RelentlessJ69 so they took out the the cheesy arcade hits and now we are exploiting the hipcheck I see..
You’re doing it wrong. You have to do it differently or just tone down the hitting. Not every check is going to be a monster hit
- @TasteofChicago91 If everyone else is gonna do it, why not? They never should have messed with the hitting mechanics. The other new controls, I have no problem with.
