Hitting opposing C off of faceoffs is fair game when it obviously can't be.

(On PS5) At least in World of CHEL (3on3), evidently as the player taking a faceoff, you can currently hit the opposing faceoff taker immediately off of faceoffs and get absolutely nothing. And you bet your cheeks every mental 5 year-old **bleep** is abusing this as much as they possibly can!

This HAS TO be a penalty shot (or penalty) every single time! It ruins the game if this continues to be a thing!

And yes, this definitely amounts to a bug, glitch or technical error.

    Hi there. This should have been fixed in last week's patch. Please let me know if you're still seeing it happen.

  • I was able to do this last night. Their center won the faceoff, I stepped in, threw the hit at the center, knocked them down with no penalty. 

    This was in drop in 6v6 play

    Hi there. Can you get me a video of this?

  • Sure, I will try to get a video showing that this behavior still exists. 

    **Edit: I will grab a few, just in case for some reason, the hit is clean

    The player build I was using is Grizzer Defenseman

  • Sorry for the delay, I have captured one:

    I ran towards the center was able to hit without penalty. 

  • So this would apply on Xbox as well as part of the game logic. 

  • Pinging topic, as this is still a problem for all game modes.
