Tripping is still broken. Examples in post.

There are still habitual poke check / stick lift spammers in the game. 

It would be nice to make the sensitivity for tripping easier like NHL 18. A game where you had to play intelligent defense and couldn't just spam buttons lazily to get the puck from your opponent. 

I can position myself protecting the puck and cheesing the LT to see if I can proc a trip. 9/10 times there won't be a trip. 

EA fixed charging, boarding, and slashing. 

Now we just need this tuned as tripping calls are still nonexistent. You can go through the leader boards and you will find all the top players have 5 or less hits a game. Because they know you can just spam poke check without any real repercussions.

    They're allergic to punishing people for making bad plays. They caved into the people crying about late hits being gone.

    Hey there. Appreciate you gathering the clips. I'll pass these on. My thought is that since the outgoing poke is not hitting the skates, it's not causing a trip. If the carrier skates into the stick rather than have their skates poked, especially if they're at a slower speed, it's going to push the stick out of the way instead of cause a trip. Your first example where the stick is swept through the skates looks like it shouldn't be happening. I'll get these sent over for review. Thanks!

    First one the player hooks me and their stick goes into my player's body. Everytime I do the same thing I get a hooking call. 

    Others are again, poorly timed poke checks that miss my stick and end in my skates and even warp through my skates.
