Hitting needs to be buffed

Hitting simply needs a buff. I get that it cannot be what it was in NHL 24, which frankly was ridiculous with the speed boost, but right now this game is literally floorball on ice because of no hitting. Hitting is essentially getting out of the way and letting your opponent drive to the net. Pokechecking is not as effective either seeing as you don't lose speed when you pick the puck back up again, but hitting is just simply so ineffective that you are literally better off not doing it. There has to be a middle ground between 24 and 25, this just cannot last like this.
