Please fix boarding

Just lost a game because the game called a boarding on me in OT when the player I hit did not touch the boards. This game has been out over a month now and this still isn't fixed. That's not good enough, it's quite literally a game breaking bug. I just wasted over a half hour of my time for the bug to end up ruining my match.

  • @drtydaddydevito I was hoping this would be addressed in the last patch but it wasn't, this is something that should not be making it out of the beta. Inexcusable.

    @TasteofChicago91 Lol use your brain please, yeah that makes sense, lets punish players who use the actual hitting mechanic with fake nonsense penalties but make hip checks that rarely happen completely broken(regardless of rating)and unable to get penalties

    @TasteofChicago91 Dude idk what league you're watching but in the NHL it's realistic to close out on someone coming up the ice with their head down with a big hit.


    Even if that wasn't the case, your argument makes no sense. Give a player an unrelated penalty for laying a big hit? Lol i bet you're awful at the game.

    They need to take hip checks out until they fix them BUT In real hockey games if you go for big hits all the time you’ll get kicked out of the game and there will be a lot of fights. Real hockey it’s mucky and most people stay on their feet because most checks are subtle.. 

    all I’m saying is people are trying to go for huge hits all game and it’s realistic because in real hockey you’re going to get penalties for doing that

    I watched hockey all the time and go to a lot of games.. it’s not realistic to have huge hits all game and big hipchecks.. if you saw someone in real hockey going for huge hits all game you’d see lots of penalties.. so I’m glad ea is keeping it realistic and not catering to the players who can’t adjust.. funny thing is I never get hitting penalties but I use a combination of methods to take the puck.. 

    If you want I could help teach you and help you get better? we shouldn’t blame ea all the time when sometimes it’s us making the mistake.

    I agree with you that real games don’t have all these crazy big hits. However, the boarding in this game is completely broken. I’ve hit players who never touch the boards and get a boarding call. Please explain how that is ‘realistic’. Elbowing, charging, and cross checking are already providing the deterrent to constant big hits, but the boarding being this broken is just silly.
