Re: Reverse Hitting

@RSall14 When I am straight lining down the side I have used it because dmen think they got an easy lined up hit. The ones who take the time to learn the new things and find out how well and when it works best will succeed.

    I keep seeing people use it, not sure if it's ever intentional or not but I hate not having my little leg kicks; really wish we could full customize and outright remove the stuff we never use

    @TTZ_Dipsy I saw a guy miss-clicking the reverse hit 5-6 times in one game yesterday, possibly trolling at some point though. But some more from other guys and myself accidentally using reverse hit 2-3 times while trying to simply move my stick around. Reverse hit is a problem, it shouldnt trigger so easily when just using your skill stick with an accidental small push on the stick.

    Same goes for protect puck always activating when ever you go for a small rush, particularly annoying near by the net....I still think they are terrible changes this year, possibly the worse ones so far.

    100% agree they need to let us customize our control or give us the option to choose between old and new control...

    There's definitely something different with the reverse hit in 24 vs the leg kick in previous years.  I can't recall ever unintentionally doing a leg kick in previous NHL games but in about a dozen games in NHL 24 I've done the reverse-hit two or three times ( in total, not per game ) when I'm just trying to move my stick.

    This is definitely on me.  Each time after the animation happens I've noticed that I've clicked the stick, but it's odd that it's suddenly something that's much more noticeable.  The reality is that we've all probably been clicking that stick button more than we thought and will have to adjust.

    I wish the reverse hit wasn't in the game. You should only be able to do it from a stand still. Who the hell reverse hits while skating with the puck?

    It's definitely going to be abuse at some point. I've seen it 3 times used the way it should be and it's led to 3 odd man 2 in 1's and it's a really poor mechanic.

    Just punishes good defense.

    If timed properly, you don't get flipped into next week by the ultra realistic hip checks most people complaining about the reverse check surely use.
