Make Hitting Great Again
Put the same controls we've had for 15 years back in the game.

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

I’ve had zero issues with hitting once I got used to it. I strip defenders all the time with poke checks and hits. I mean my team is dominating other teams with time on attack and hits, and we are being rewarded for actually playing hockey for a change.

Agreed. The only 'issues' I've had are due to my current skill with the new controls. Sometimes, old habits kick in and I start flicking right stick for a hit. That doesn't mean 'hitting is broken' like most would claim, it means I'm a * and forget the new controls sometimes. Blame myself, learn and then dominate those who'd rather complain online than take the time to master the new meta.

here is our forwards dealing with a d-man swiftly.
@KidShowtime1867I neither hate or love the new hiting for big hits but it has potential. As of now though, I feel that it could use some tuning, there's several times where I was perfectly lined and the swing was, to say the least, off. Going too much on the left or right unexpectedly. Like some auto aiming jumped in and said No, I'm gonna make you hit to your left instead of in straight line.
And puck pick up could definitly be better after a big hit, it take too much time to get back on track.They new system has been a godsend for me since I usually play a small sniper nowadays and musclememory from my old crosscheck days keeps rearing its ugly head.
I can finally just go -5 in body checking and dedicate myself to the ways of the flapjack using the square button. I love hipchecking fools, it gets me going. I don't really like how inconsequential hitting is overall but you can't deny how hilarious it is knocking someone into another dimension.
Oh the controls feel awkward and hurt you more than help? Welcome to the old version of hipchecks with their janky control in addition to the bubble. At least I have 1 small thing to help out while playing defense.
