Make Hitting Great Again

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

    @KlariskraysNHL Lol. Yup. We do it. We're good at it. It works. Not ashamed to say it's just dumb at this point and it's an issue. Every time it feels something was fixed from 23 (Like the LT ballerina), something else comes along to replace it.

    NHL 23 far side wrist shot cheese? Don't need that anymore because your goalie will be flopping around the crease for no reason for easy goals in no time with only about one bar of pressure which equals your goalie having a spasm flop attack.

    Ugh. One step forward, two steps back with NHL every, single, year.

    By all means buff shoves and regular checks in order to combat ballerinas but this hip checking meta right now in 6s is just beyond dumb and unrealistic.

    Yea, not a huge fan of goalies turning into beer-league goalies. Goalie fatigue during full pressure scenarios doesn't make much sense to me. Many goalies thrive under pressure and this blanket approach that every goalie is suddenly in dire straights after 30-seconds of pressure in the 1st period is just.. weird.

    @KidShowtime1867 The pressure system is one of the ideas I really liked. It makes sense. Pass the puck around in the zone, take great shots, and be rewarded. I just think the players losing stamina super fast and not being able to retrieve or clear pucks is enough. I think the goalie can do without a stamina meter to be honest.

    Yeah in theory it's good but then pucks go through you, you lose every 50/50 puck battle despite positioning and even up to like 20/80. 

    Possessing the puck fills up the bar way too much way too quickly and passing shouldn't fill the bar. Stamina drains way too fast. 

  • i dont mind the controls its the results that look horrible...how can NHL 20 have more dynamic low and high speed hits than a game thats using hitting as a marketing feature?? this feels like madden 13...half the time two players touch each other and you wouldnt know they can even affect each other based on the outcome...then all of  sudden you see a nhl htiz animation at low speed...then you see a guy helicopter ...its just like what in the world is going on? hitting sitll on the alpha bild? final release coming son?
