NHL 26 Hitting window
NHL 27 needs a lower time to hit window before you are at risk of a penalty for interference. I am all for Truculence being as strong as it is but then stuff like this happens where I get injured for doing nothing wrong by passing it off to my teammate. I then am stuck as the first guy tries to hit me and either misses or stops, only for the second guy to come at me and kill me without repercussion.
Hitting window example
You will see that when I recorded and watched it frame by frame. Going off of my best estimates here, 4.66 was when the puck was indicated off my possession and then at 5.70 is when the perk appears under his player indicating the hit. 1.04 seconds is just too much time. This window at MOST should be like .7 seconds, though my ideal request would be half the time at .5 seconds. Enough to finish a check on a person but not too much that it only really rewards those that were in a good position for a hit on a puck carrier and not a random skater.
As a side note I lose around half my stamina for this hit that has is in no way trying to play the puck or finish a check. Please tell me I am not the only who thinks this?
Especially in solo player games, its frustrating having to watch your lines lose their energy because every time you go to pass the puck off to a teammate, that player than gets decimated with a late hit by a truck defenseman or something. Its rewarding players who take illegal hits, not ones who finish their checks and I really hope this example shows how bad it can get.
