Yeeah, I have taken so many penalties because of this lol. This needs fixing, one of the few complaints I actually have about this game.
Hello guys,
just some hints how to not take a penalty when trying to shoot in offensive zone in front of the net. For rebounds, you have to put L stick down and R stick up at the same time. This will not trigger a shove animation, it's a safe move. Regarding OT, you have to use manual OT, so first press LT and put R stick down and wait for the pass, you will see that your stick is back and up. From that position if you put R stick up, even if the pass is not coming, shove animation is not triggered, it's a safe move and you will not take a penalty. Of course, right timing is required to connect the puck.
Holding L2 still works for me this year but I'm on skill stick controls.
Pressing the sticks in opposite directions did not stop the hitting animation for me and the other shot is not meant for rebounds on the side of the net. These controls in front of the net have effectively eliminated most if not all possibility of playing the rebound without taking a penalty.
