Question

Tone down the hitting, and if you’re gonna make it as overpowered as is, then even it out with reverse hitting. It’s brutal. Speed needs to be nerfed a little bit too. It never ceases to amaze me how you guys ruin this game more and more. If you use LT in any situation, it should be a speed reduction.

Poke checking needs to be better.
Stick lifting needs to be toned down.
Stop saying goalies are better when they aren’t.&nbsp;
Turn LT down.
Size difference needs to be apparent. A 5’8” player shouldn’t be able to fully hit a 6’4” 210lb player to the ground and launch the stick out of his hand, let alone shove him and make him stumble 5 feet forward

Another year of this game being brutal&nbsp;

Poke checking needs to be better.This 👆. I would go as far as saying it’s almost non existent atm. I mean, poke checking is a big part of hockey and a tool for smart defensive play.&nbsp;&nbsp;

There is almost zero ability to stick lift&nbsp;

You need to get into a position where your stick can reach the opponent. Previously, your player would 'reach'. Now they don't. It's all about positioning.&nbsp;
