Late Hits: No Penalty

I’ve noticed late hits aren’t called penalties. This has been around since 23 maybe?

The clip attached demonstrates this. The player was hit a fair amount of time after the puck left his stick. My question is: Was it purposely created by the studio for these hits to not be called penalties?

    The way I see it, once your player got rid of the puck, he should gradually boost his balance and brace for hit automatically, to the point where it negates the hit altogether. That would prevent head hunting, without handling a ton of penalties, keeping the game flowing. It can be tweaked in according to both players stats obliviously. Again that's part of one of the biggest issue that plagued this serie, the player with the puck has more control than the ones without it.

    I don't have much insight into this. I can tell you that we're aware of these reports and it is being looked into. As with most anything, it's not a simple fix. Fixing this can also cause bigger issues. So, it's something we're going to need to continue investigating until a good fix can be found.
