That is why there are no loose pucks, and why you have a better chance at scoring off a rebound off a slow shot from the corner than from a hard slapshot from the point.
Nothing is pre-determined.
While I agree that rebounds can be an easier way to score, setting your D strategies to collapsing and protect net will help keep your players in better position for gathering up rebounds.
While it is true about better position, that's ALL you get because they stand and watch you get scored on, and if you try to switch, it doesn't work fast enough to make a play anyways. What would you suggest?

I would suggest being more proactive and getting in position better when you see that play developing. Also, manual player switching may help. Holding on RT/R2 and flicking the right stick in the direction of the player you want to switch to should select the player you want. Also, staying in position in general will help. Try not to chase the carrier with a player that pulls them far out of position.
