One flick up for shoulder check, but not for hip check. Hip checks are simple now and most guys just hold down the button and if you run into them you fall. My dislike for total control is more towards the no skill involved on the offensive side vs the defensive side. My gripes are make it easier for offensive players and harder for defensive players. I am using a 6’6 250 lbs DD and you have a 5’7 165lb dangler… if i do connect with this crappy new “slapshot” style hitting, the dangler shouldnt bounce right back up 80-90% of the time and get back into the play before the DD. Yet, a dangler can use total control, press one button and do a michigan deke instead of having to learn the skill like previous years for deking. I get you say that total control is 1 button for defense as well but a check vs a deke where you have to normally(using skill stick) use multiple button combos and joystick rotation correctly to pull it off is not the same.
