Why did you changed the hitting ? The hitting and hitting controls in this game is not working at all . Are you planning on bringing back hitting and the hitting controls (skill stick ) that we have had for many years that worked fine or should we try to get our money back ?
I noticed this too. When you go hit someone, your player does this goofy shove animation that barely does anything OR there is a delay in the AI taking the hit.
Often i line a guy up and my player does that goofy animation the wrong way. All of a sudden i am alone in the zone and have to skate back to the play. I really dislike what they did to hitting this year.

Hitting with Skill Stick is now the same as taking a Slapshot. It took some play to get used to it but once you do it'll feel the same.
I mean who wants to skate around and shove in the air when hitting and shooting ?. Thats just silly. We dont want to shove we want to play a good hockey game with hard hits like we have been able to do in every NHL games .
@Jeff_frm_EdmondsI have tried it and the hits are just crap in this game and the hitting animation totally wrong and the body checks are not powerful at all . So me and my buddy dont even play this game anymore and we have played many years
yup! I will still play it tho. Just hate the hitting while i do it.
And there is no time to pull back the stick and then push front the stick to make a hit like loading a slapshot when there is sometimes milliseconds and fast game . It simply isnt working
The hitting is way better in NHL 24, IMO. You actually have to time it correctly, which adds a much needed skill gap to hitting. You can't just hold up on the stick and let the game tractor beam you into a hit like in prior versions. It takes a little bit of getting used it, but it's a very welcome change.
It was the hitting in the past games that made this game fun and it wasnt super easy to hit you still had to time the hits . I can believe that there is people that like this new crap hitting but i suppose that thay are bad players that cant avoid being hit . O my god go and play your ladies hockey league
Sorry for my english first...
Someone from EA team can explain me this ? This check is absolutely not normal when the player is skating straight forward and the defender just change his direction to hit him with his bump.. I understand this can happen when the journey of the player is cut! but in this case, the defender will follow him and just touched the legs of the attacker... this is too powerfull for me, isn't it ? For your information, my teammate in red in the video is playing moonlight ... 99 in force ! And of course it leads to an absurd goal
thank you for your feedback
That is one of the things I see too! Like a delay in the hit. almost like the hit box is unnecessary in size where collisions don't work properly
