Im going to say this again, ever since total control was implemented there are very few penalties called for open ice charging and even the interference penalties make no sense, this should have
This should have been interference

This should've been charging
It was just the same in 25 but patched and its terrible in this game offline, no cpu stick penalties and still we wait
I agree,
this year, the logic behind penalties like interference or roughing is completely off. Some of the hits that go uncalled are unbelievable — and that’s with penalties set to 4/4 and sliders maxed at 100%. I honestly thought this would be fixed with the first patch, but it’s starting to feel like the devs are actually fine with it, which really kills the motivation to keep playing.
I've always bought the nhl series on release and made the best of the game, this year I loaded it up and tried to play altering sliders but have stopped playing it as it doesn't represent any like true ice hockey with hitting like from a beer league and no cpu stick penalties, poker checks and high sticks or slash. I can't see me playing this game again unless there is a massive improvement by patch.
Great observation I completely agree. Since 24 where Total Control was introduced. Late hit penalties have been non-existent. Every game I see late hits like Stevens on Kariya in 2003 SCF. They really need to start calling these penalties.
