NHL 24 Body Checking Stats
I think we all agree that the stat ratings need an overhaul due to the fact that to make a guy like McDavid a 97 overall, his defensive stats need to be in the the 90s.
McDavid defense ratings:
Def Awareness = 90
Face Offs = 79
Shot Blocking = 81
Stick Checking = 93
Only Selke winners/nominees should be 90 plus for def awareness/stick checking.
Body Checking - Why do the majority of players in the game have such inflated “body checking” stats!? This is why the game turns into NHL Hitz. I’ll use Quinn Hughes as an example. His body checking stat is currently an 81!!! 80 plus should only be reserved for the Jacob Trouba’s/Brady Tkachuk’s/Ryan Reeves of the league.
Players like Hughes use good stick play/solid body positioning to angle out opponent’s. Hughes should be like 50-60 max IMO. When I spend hours editing the majority of players body checking slider, the game plays way better/more sim. Super annoying that EA has yet to rectify this after all this time.
