Community ManagerYeah, I get how it interrupts play. How often is that happening though? It's always been a pretty rare occurrence. Frustrating at the time, but it's over quick and play starts up again. You may lose a scoring chance, but I imagine more chances will follow.
I'll pass on your feedback about the instigator penalty.
Happens at least twice a game to me. Then it's 4 on 4 which ruins the flow of the lines, gasses players, and then draws out the clock. Now multiply that by the 82 games in a season, plus playoffs and it just kills. It shocks me that you act like it's no big deal when multiple people across multiple iterations state it's an issue. That attitude is the exact reason these games have slid downhill. I assume that attitude is pervasive within EAs dev team. Just add a setting to turn off of auto fights. I'd frankly rather have a bot reply. "it's always been a pretty rare occurance" when it happens every game. "but it's over quick" while we have to play 4 on 4 due to an issue that shouldnt exist. I have bought every NHL since 14 and I'm not buying this one until this issue, goalie controls are fixed, and allowing us to switch to older controls happens. Thankfully we have 75 cellys to look at though while we rag through the same stale, unchanged BAP and franchise.
