This HAS to be patched...CPU late hits

[MikeMagnum4311]

Regardless of what settings you have this shouldn't be a problem on any level. The CPU AI does NOT know when to DISENGAGE the guy who has the puck last. Do other people see this??

Re: This HAS to be patched...CPU late hits

I see it all the time. After my player passes the puck, a few seconds later, they'll lay out my guy. Happens a lot.

That happens in real life when players finish checks and are playing aggresivly.

Well, it's an issue if I slam into a CPU player who doesn't have the puck, and I'm whistled for interference. And that happens a lot.

It's similar to FIFA in that CPU players can crash into you when you have the ball and nothing happens. But if you happen to bump a CPU player when he has the ball, the ref's yellow/red card comes flying out.

I disagree, i don't get called for finishing my checks. And i allways do "finnish" my checks.

You disagree that I don't get called for interference when I bang into guys who don't have the puck? So you're... what? Hiding behind my couch, secretly watching while I play the game?

I constantly get called for smucking into players who don't have the puck. I then head to the penalty box. Sin Bin time, in other words. You can disagree what to call it I suppose, but it's still two minutes. But you can't disagree that it happens because I have the bench splinters to prove it.

Ha-ha, that joke was pretty swede!

Re: This HAS to be patched...CPU late hits

Finishing checks is one thing, having your defensemen laid out and injured when the puck is already all the way down the ice is another thing. Do I really need to put a video of this up?

Oh yeah, injured... I didn't think about that as a consequence; I play with injuries off.

My point was that the CPU can nail my non-puck carriers, yet I've never seen the CPU penalized as a result. I on the other hand can be chasing after a CPU player who just passed the puck off, and if I happen to nail him too late, I often get called.

Not for me no. Shouldn't need to for anyone who's played more than maybe 5 OTP/Club games either. The AI does blatant late hits in single player offline games and the leeway you get online goes far, far beyond finishing a check while giving out total joke calls for shoves (not even knock over hits) when there is a quick team possession change nearby.

Re: This HAS to be patched...CPU late hits

There's no way in the world u guys can say,there's nothin wrong with this, and keep a straight face. The late hits is ridiculously obvious. When someone passes the puck, you can tell they are targeted for a certain length of time(a couple of seconds). And the defender is allowed 2 hits on the passer. It's stupid. I dont even want EA fix this to call interference, I want them to stop the cpu from doing this completely. Now I can give the benefit of the doubt and say, yes are allowed to get hit after u pass the puck, but not when the action is nowhere near the passer. NO MORE LATE HITS!!!

Not true.

Hits after moving the puck is a judgement call by the referee. Most refs I know, and including myself, I have reffed GTHL, MHL here in the GTA...if you play the puck you are fair game.

On plays someone really makes a late hit...usually a charge or roughing penalty will be called. Maybe boarding depening on where the check happened...but not interference.
