The year of the late hit

If anyone who plays this game has ever watched hockey (so not the devs) 98% of the hits this year are penalties. You can pass the puck and get hit 3 - 4 seconds after passing with no call? Before you know it you are out of the play for 10 seconds unless you use a trait and put on warrior. This needs to be changed YESTERDAY.

    yep. I was playing today and passed from my defensive zone to just past our blue line. my AI teammate made it all the way past the red line and "BAM" I'm on the ground. then a few times I never even had the puck but it was passed by a teammate to another teammate but it went by me and I got hit. no penalty. I'm sick of this game. I hated 25 but I'd rather play that one that this piece of crap game so that tells you what I think of this one.

    So, EA doesn’t care. I play the regular online versus mode with over 1000 games played and I’ve had MANY petty arguments with people that play this way. The reality is that if EA was to cater towards people like us that want balanced gameplay they would literally lose over half of their gamers. Most of these dudes want to play a brainless arcade game. They like the idea of just exploiting the hit button because that’s what gets their dopamine going. It’s not the simulation for them. It’s simply the pure chaos of the game. I’m telling you that more than half of these guys would lose interest and simply stop playing - no, not improve - stop playing, if EA fixed these things. 

  • Still no reply on this one, so I guess EA is done with this years game and making changes. WOW SHOCKER!!!

    These devs don't believe in penalties I've posted many clips and they're just ignored

    Hello, everyone. We're aware of the late hits. I can absolutely understand the frustration with them. We'll have to wait and see if they are addressed in the future. Appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

     Aljo is constantly thanking you for posting clips to be passed along to the dev team. Why lie about something like that

    They have been posted and seen. While I might not respond, they aren't ignored. The team has been sent many of these already so they are most definitely well aware.

    I wasn't referring to A  I was referring to the development team I've been along with others  posting clips  ever since they implemented total control  about late hits charging penalties etc and stil nothing and now with elite truculence it's just totally out of hand

    Again, we are extremely well aware of this. We're not going to respond every time someone shows another video of it.
