If you want to play the sport as it should be then what you are asking for is incorrect.
Rules state that finishing a check after the possession has changed.. is 0.2 to 1 second after the puck is no longer on the player, within stick distance or the check has already started.
It has never been this way in prior games, thus why players got used to late hits and deemed them okay, which is wrong under sport of hockey. This was also changed to make the window to complete the check longer after the first patch (moved up to 1.5 seconds or allowing 2 strides made before check is made).
What you are asking for is an arcade experience that only follows certain rules in the sport of hockey?
