Community ManagerAn auto fight should only occur if a player is injured on the hit. A teammate will step up to defend them. I'm not a fan of them either, but wanted to give some context on why they're occurring.
That is helpful, thanks...however, it's only a small patt of the issue...auto scrums randomly stop the action too, and result in coincidentals when its clearly the AI instigating.
I'd like to see all that done away with, especially the auto fighting...even when someone is injured...i should also still have to agree to fight, right?
Community ManagerYeah, I don't see the problem with the option to fight, but how many real world players would turn that down?
The problem is that it completely and often quite abruptly stops play, and it's specifically a problem when your on the rush and suddenly snapped back to an auto fight or forced scrum bc of a hit you threw seconds ago, or a friendly AI hit. I've lost many odd man rushes and breakaways like this, and its bs.
At the very least they could tune it down a few notches...as this happens to me multiple times per game consistently..therefore, I am essentially being punished for landing good hits.
Also, the instigator penalty really does need to be added.

A fight still needs 2 people.
Why are we forced to fight and take a 5 minute penalty?
This also incorrect . I just had a particularly annoying game where i was forced to auto fight 4 times...and the player I hit was injured in ZERO of those instances.
I'm also really loving my AI idiots taking 3 to 5 tripping penalties a game...really helpful
Even if the majority of teams will fight on injured teammates, it doesn't mean that all the players should drop the puck. Players can still continue to skate with the puck and stop if there is a fight that has been accepted.
Whenever that happens, I don't have a choice to accept the fight to not get a turnover that will lead to a high chance of scoring for my opponent.
Even in real life, the teammates don't always go for a fight. They continue the play. Usually, from what I notice, the automatic fight is when there is a dirty hit.
