Re: Reverse Hitting

I agree. Plus in hockey reverse hits are a function of a player using their balance to absorb contact. As such this should simply be a function of the offensive user's balance in response to the defensive user's hit attempt (with or without the puck). I think you should remove the "Michigan" as a skill move with triangle and make the reverse hit button more of a function of leaning on one's stick or into a shot. I HATE when I want to lean into a shot and rip one when my player tries to "reverse hit" no one! This would be a more intuitive function and more like actual hockey.

Reverse hitting is fun against the button guy's and the guys who let their AI"s chase you down ,one of the few things about the game that actually is fun

Agreed!
I took to Reverse Hitting in HUT very early (sorry I didn't see this thread in October) and though you still give up the puck from time to time I can see it baffle my opponents. Experienced opponents do bait me from time to time with a fake hit but I've found using Reverse Hitting a great way to make a 'short pass.' Too often the <5' pass is riffled or not even close to your teammate but the Reverse Hitting action works like a forward drop pass.

Heck yes. This is the mastery of the mechanics I like to see.

Now if I could only keep my thumbs on the 90° axis to get my shots off when I wanted ;-)
