This could be related to lag. Try power cycling your modem/router and console. There is nothing built in to the game that forces you to lose faceoffs you would have won.

What about winning faceoffs when you're not even touching your controller? I've e done that many of times..

This can happen due to ratings when both opponents don't win the faceoff. If you don't touch anything and your opponent doesn't time the draw right, the player with the higher faceoff rating will win it.

That makes absolutely no sense at all. If one isn't even at their controller, there is literally no way at all that person should win the faceoff at all. If I don't touch anything regardless of their timing, they should be winning the faceoff since I wasn't paying attention. Higher rating or timing, if you're not at your controller you're not winning a faceoff period.

I definitely get that, but then the puck would just sit there if nobody won it. An AI player would probably try to pick it up in that case and then they wouldn't be moving. Realistically though, the chances of both players putting down there controllers is really low. The person actively taking the faceoff is always going to win if the other doesn't touch their controller. Again, the only way someone not touching their controller is if both players don't take the faceoff. Ratings then decide who wins it.
