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.

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

Well to make hitting great again we need to get rid of the one button hip check that was the stupidest thing ever added in this game It was just dumb I don't know who thought of it but they should be fired

Really enjoying the hitting mechanics this year. Tried the new total controls, they weren't for me, went back to skill stick. Love the hip checks once you really set them up perfectly and you get them lined up just right and click in the right stick and L1 ...heck ya, then you get a replay , so satisfying. After sometime, the down on the right stick then up to make a big hit became natural after a few games with penalties down just to get use to it , and to be 100% honest it's a great addition , it's so satisfying making those hits and when I make a mistake because of my wrong timing , my team pays for it . You have options which Is nice , you can just give a shove which is great. This is a fantastic and a welcomed addition to me personally.
