Fighting???

[jtott]

Ok,I'm sure this has been touched on some where in here, but is there any fighting in this years(NHL 13) game? In previous years I could scuffle with a player.. hit "Y" and the fight is on ... sometimes too many fights were in the game in my opinion. but in this years version of the game ,I can't start a fight to save my life. I'm in Gm mode .. 40 games into the season, not one single fight. I've played around with the slider ...nothing. Am I missing something , or is fighting just simply missing from this years game?

Fights are few.....you have to initiate all of them.
Very rarely if you shot at the goal tender after the whistle the AI will push you but that is all.

It is rediculous that you can bump their goalie in play and rarely get a penealty, but never get engaged by the AI after the play to fight. In 13 they did. Also the after they or you hit the goalie, mostly the scene ends to quickley to start the fight.

You have to hit Y after the whistle and keep on hitting Y till the gloves drop. (they may not drop). The players will start jostling each other but you have to keep hitting Y to get the fight.

EA will hopefully fix this in 14 where the other team may engage you and by pressing Y will start a fight. but right now it is not there. It would also be nice for a fight to start sometimes in the middle of play,

Yeah, something they managed to screw up after NHL 10, which had this just fine. Why does EA feel compelled to break something when trying to fix other things?

Could it have something to do with keeping us to buy a new game every year to get these things fixed? So don't fool yourself to believe that a "perfect" product will be released.

Tug player and punch and punch and punch.

I couldn't seem to find a blocking button, but I tend to win fights by tugging the player toward me/down and then just keep punching with the right stick...mixing punches (RS forward) with big punches (RS back then forward).

Also might help to look at your player ratings and try to choose players with high fighting skill to fight with...
