Hitting is broken

This was an issue in 25 as well, that made the game completely unplayable. I mostly play franchise, and editing sliders does very little, because the AI has only one thing in mind - laying out the body. 3 players simultaneously skating full speed to hit 1 player going through the neutral zone is pretty nuts imo. Also, there were plenty of complaints about hitting throughout NHL 25’s cycle and there was no patch addressing this issue, so I highly doubt there will be a fix.
