Bring Back Hitting After the Whistle


Bring Back Hitting After the Whistle
The Issue
NHL 20 has been fun, but I think we can all agree that something is missing. Hitting after the whistle.
In every EA NHL game in the history of the franchise, players were free to tee-up their unsuspecting opponent just as the ref blew the offside whistle. Players could send a message to their opponent with a nasty CFB bodycheck after an icing call.
Players in NHL 20 now lack the ability to play the mental game against their enemy, now resorting to toxic behaviours such as double-watching goals and calling timeouts just prior to puck drops.
I am calling for Rammer to give the people what they want and add hitting after the whistle back into the EA NHL franchise. Please sign this petition if you do not support the reduction of mental strategy allowed in NHL 20 from past games.
