Exploit: Forced fights after the whistle

Question

We played a game last night where we were going up against these d-bags who were using an exploit that forces you into a fight after the whistle.&nbsp; You literally just stand there and do nothing and all of the sudden you are fighting for no reason.&nbsp; This happened a few times before and I found it strange, but figured it was a bug.&nbsp; However, these d-bags last night knew how to trigger this.&nbsp; They forced me into a fight 3 times because I was the centreman and they also forced our d-man into a fight.&nbsp; As if the game wasn't broken enough, having an exploit like this makes the game completely unplayable.&nbsp; Fix this EA, figure it out and fix it!&nbsp; We are sick of the incompetence.&nbsp; All we want is a functioning hockey game.&nbsp; This game is an absolute disaster this year.

I saw somebody was fighting so I checked my phone to kill time and then I look up and I'm in the box. I didn't hit or shoot the puck post whistle. It was the weirdest thing and my team was all, "Oh that's why you didn't fight back. We were wondering what was going on there."There's definitely something happening where players can trigger you into having a fight. Only happened in one game though so I thought it was a bug.&nbsp;

Happens to us as well. Been pulled into fights that were never accepted.&nbsp;

Hi there,&nbsp;@BassMan_PC&nbsp;

If you can get me video of this, I'll pass it on to the team. Thank you.

@EA_AljoI did not capture any video. Not much to show as it is them challenging me to a fight after the whistle and me not accepting, but being forced into it. I have never seen this until this year and it is obviously an exploit that they found out how to abuse. The team that did it is [REMOVED] on Xbox...

Please do not post player/team details. This is considered "naming and shaming" and is against the Answers HQ rules. I edited your post to remove those details. As far as this goes, I'll keep an eye out for other reports. If it happens again, please get a video. Thanks!
