Reverse Hitting needs Balance.
Seems like height/weight/stats have nothing to do with how someone can just bull doze you at the blue line carrying the puck with smaller low balance statted players like Nylander, Kucherov or even G...

Community ManagerWhat is your issue with that hit? Also, which versions of those players are being used? Larkin is the bigger player. That gives him an advantage alone.
I go to poke check and he throws me over the boards behind him while moving forward…
He lost almost no forward momentum and there wasn’t even an animation of him throwing me over the boards. When a regular body check happens there’s basically a dead stop and an animation allowing some time to recover.
Just makes no sense. You poke check while skating and then you’re basically in quick sand but if I spam A when you’re defender comes near I can lose next to no momentum and rag doll you. But in real hockey you putting your stick out to defend the puck it a normal occurrence with out losing speed but if two bodies collide. Theres pretty much always a dead stop.
