Make Hitting Great Again
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.
@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.
- @RelentlessJ69 so they took out the the cheesy arcade hits and now we are exploiting the hipcheck I see..
- @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.
- @RelentlessJ69 the hitting was really bad last year. Not so good players were getting rewarded

Hitting for me has been too big of a risk for the reward. Not saying it should go back to how it was but being left SO far out of position isn't good. I'm just really tired of the offense getting all the advantages and all the assistance. The defense ONLY had hitting and now most defensemen just give up low danger shots and hope the rebound goes in their favor. Defense is in a pretty bad place.
