Hitting window and Interference needs tuning

Not sure of other modes but within EASHL the window for finishing a check without getting a penalty is currently too large.  Several times a night I will pass the puck to a teammate, they will have possession for a solid second, often with enough time to skate with it or move it themselves and then I get blown up by a truculence hit that is behind the play.  That is an interference penalty.

Further to that, how interference is called in general needs a tuning.  Its less frequent but at least once or twice a game we will have one of our players demolished with a check when they weren't even near the puck.  Like other side of the ice.  No penalty.  With how overpowered truculence is, games just devolve into arcade-like mess.  Save that for a Hitz mode.  Big hitters need to be penalized better when they hit late or outside of possession.

    Hey there. Yep. The late hits are very frustrating. I would love to see those addressed.

    As far as interference goes, there are times an incidental hit will knock a player to the ice. That won't count as interference since they didn't specifically throw a hit. Regardless, I get what you're saying and I too would like it to be changed.

    Appreciate the feedback. Thank you!

    Thanks for the reply Aljo! With regards to incidental hits, do they trigger truculence?  I don't use it as I play a smaller class and my hitting stinks, but our defenders swear up and down they didn't use the right stick and it still pops up when they bump someone.

    As far as I know, Truculence only activates when throwing hits and not with incidental contact. I've reached out to the team to clarify, but most likely won't hear back until they all return next week.
