Penalties still not fixed

It is kinda unacceptable that a hockey sim, which has a base code that is anything but new, has been out nearly 2 months and the dev team can still not figure out something that its predecessors have had figured out for years. 

Why, 2 months in to a hockey sim's release, do we still not have any idea why penalties and stick infractions will not be called? Why are the gameplay sliders constantly resetting? Why is there a conflict between the main menu settings and the settings you experience in individual modes like BAP? Why does a person with literally 1 step of skate distance absolutely obliterate someone with a body check? 

Why did you sell us NHL Hitz. We bought NHL 26. 

What is the timetable for this to be resolved? 

When do you start issuing refunds? You didn't give us what you promised. Why is this ok?

    Yes. If this issue gets addressed, we'll mention it in patch notes. I don't have any updates so I can't guarantee it's getting handled.

    There were different issues being addressed last year. Rarely is something an easy fix. We resolve as many issues with as many patches as we can. Some things also need to wait for a future game.

    So they were in last year and what they created took them out this year, what a joke, aren't serial games supposed to get incrementally better every year not worse

    In online play ever since they introduced total  control penalties such as open ice charging,elbowing and roughing penalties have been extremely nerfed or just shut off altogether, before total control the game was balanced well especially charging followed exactly what the rules for charging were ,thats why total control is a joke
