NHL 24. HIP CHECKS & TOTAL CONTROL
EA you have to tone down the hip checks in this game, no matter the size of players you gonna get laid out with HIP CHECK Spammers. It’s way to over powered and needs to be adjusted accordingly. ...

Appreciate the feedback. We announced changes will be coming to hip checks and The Michigan. This is from the most recent patch notes:
Are we still thinking early November for the patch?

Yes.
Still planning on patching hip checks? At least give them a chance to get a penalty from it. Love the new game and patch but you can still be 5’6 150 lbs and fly around like you’re Nancy Kerrigan and blast someone in the back while he’s on a breakaway and flip him 50 feet in the air
- @EA_Aljo one thing that would be good in a new patch is the ability to use L1 to stop a shoulder check. Tapping O causes a shoulder check and holding and releasing O add force, but as of now there is no way to change your mind if you initiate a body check. Also while I really like the addition of the hip check, 90% of the hip checks thrown in the game would be called a slew foot. Another 5% would result in the offender simply skating around the check. Honestly if you look at NHL games, hip checks are very few and far between due to the speed of the game today and the likelihood of the other team drawing a penalty or the checking player causing an injury. While video game players don't need to worry so much about injury, if we're going for simulation, these things need to be taken into account. Thanks!
