Discussion of “own goals”
Can there be a patch soon to solve this issue? I just played one period where 3 out of the 4 goals were “own goals”. CPU knocks in two of mine and I somehow put one into my own net. This is borderlin...

My club has played about 60 games so far and I can safely say there were own goals scored in at least 10 of em, maybe as high as 20 and some games even multiple times.
AI has always been bad but they definitely seem to be doing it on purpose. Can't count the number of times I succeed in stopping a cross crease for it to just get shoved five hole on the goalie
What is even better is when there is an own goalie but calls for goalie interference when I was not even the player that scored the puck. So they scored on themselves but seeing that I bumped the goalie I was at fault for but was their own player directing the puck into the net due to the player being stuck in the turning animation too close to the net. I didn't know I could get goalie inference on an own team goal??? This could be somewhere deep within the NHL rules. I was not able to find anything about it when I looked but what was odd is that the faceoff after the non-goal call stayed in the opposition zone when it should be outside the zone....
It has now become "own goal 24" cause that is basically all it is nowadays. At this point, the game is becoming unplayable to the point it takes the fun out of the game cause you don't need to have skill cause the EA player animations will doom you no matter what skill level you have.
@EA_Aljo Can this be looked into as I have stated beforehand in a prior comment I can not go one game now without at least 1 own goal if not 3 or 4. It makes the gameplay unfair and unrealistic. Plus, from other comments in this thread, it looks like online is just as bad as offline play for own goals.

As always, I'll need videos to send over to the team. In my own personal play, own goals are rare, but I know they happen. Had one last night from an AI D man skating in to the goalie and knocking the puck loose. Frustrating for sure. Having 3 out of 4 happen in one game would seem to be exceptionally rare, but of course, it shouldn't be happening at such a rate. We'll need to see how these are occurring so it can be investigated further.
