Discrepancy

If you're hitting someone hard enough to make them stumble, chances are good it's intentional. Unfortunately, I don't have any other details other than you have to cause an animation to happen when hitting someone for them to count in the game summary.

Yeah that makes sense and I appreciate you taking the time to explain it. I'm just still not sure if it answers the original question since it doesn't explain why the decision was made that the word "hit" means one thing in objectives and another thing in the game summary instead of being consistent and meaning the same thing in every place in the game. But I also understand if you don't have any other details on it other than what you have already said.

dogheels​ What do you think? Did EA_Aljo give you the answer that you were looking for?

No. There is no definitive meaning to the word hit. Before this can be adequately resolved. A definition has to be established explaining why hits in the game are recorded differently than in the objective. They define shoulder checks as a variant of a hit. But in doing so. They are explicit in putting that requirement in text. As we have seen in different objectives. The same holds true for one timer shots. Definitive in the requirement. Make perfect one timer shots vs make one timer shots. One obviously has to be on goal. The other does not. It is so easy to put out a word. Such as hit. But without explanation, it becomes a quandary  regarding understanding. An assumption does not make the explanation valid. We have spent too much time debating this issue. An issue only EA or their developers can explain. And I won't hold my breath waiting for that explanation. If truth be told. I honestly believe the in game hit count involves only shoulder checks. Only way I can see any possible reason. And if so. Change the in game hit counter. To shoulder checks. As it stands now. The word Hit has two meanings. I appreciate the feedback from all.
