Interference penalties trying to shoot rebounds
Anyone else notice a ton of interference penalties when trying to shoot rebounds in front of the net?
Forum Discussion
Funny enough it just happened after I sent the last message and look...here is a picture...they called it 3 times for one hit I will post a picture.

We're aware of the issue with 6 minute penalties and are investigating.
Thanks for the feedback. This currently is intended as you can't just hold up to put back a rebound or wait for a one timer in the slot. You need to hit up when the puck is in front of you.
Edit: This is actually NOT intended and is currently being investigated.
Thats good but i dont “hold up” continuously. I tap up when the pucks loose or when im trying to “net front battle” and it pushed the defender instead of trying to shoot the puck. Which gives me a goaltender interference or an interference penalty. It might be i just need to play differently but seems annoying as I typically use a grinder to deflect pucks, get rebounds and play in front of the net.

I've been passing this feedback on to the team. You're definitely not the first to complain about it. One of the forwards on my club is having a hard time adjusting to this as well. Hopefully, we'll see this adjusted, but I don't have any news on it at this time.
- @EA_Aljo I possible fix would be to move shove to the B/Circle button.
As I understand it, currently B/Circle and up on the Right stick do the same thing. So if up on the Right stick was only shoot, and shove was moved to the button we would stop getting penalties for trying to shoot the puck.

So how is it supposed to work as intended?
You push the right stick forward to shoot when the puck is near you? What if the defender is near you as well, when does the game trigger the shoot animation versus the shove animation?
Wouldn't holding L2/LT and pressing up on RS for shooting be a better solution?
Hold L2/LT + RS = shot attempt only
RS by itself = hit/shove only
Then there's no mistake or confusion or tricky programming for the devs

Hey, @de4c0nfr05t
I updated my recent post about that. I was wrong and it is NOT intended. The team is looking in to it currently. When I have some news, I'll post an update.
Please @EA_Aljo I beg you not to cater to these people that are complaining about interference penalties for shooting rebounds. Why should the forwards get that option when the only option for defenseman are to wait for the puck to be picked up by their stick? If defenseman don't have the option to desperation shoot it out of the zone, why should the forwards get the option to shoot it in the zone? It is already difficult enough (not impossible as other people put it) but if you give the forwards this, it is just another thing that rewards brain dead spamming up to shoot on the sticks instead of having to do what the defense has to do which is to skate onto and pick up the puck and carry/shoot it out of the area to a teammate.

I agree completely with removing spamming shoot for rebounds and one-timers, but why make the player cross-check. You are punishing the player with a cross-check animation that often leads to penalties, when that is the last thing the player is trying to do. Why not make it so the player attempts a shot (i.e., whiffs) ? Doesn't this make more sense?THE GOAL is to NOT reward the player for holding up or spamming shoot over and over?
The best solution is to make the player do a shot animation, which would cause them to shoot early, and, thus, whiff.- EA_Aljo
I revised that statement last week. It is not intended that penalties are being taken. This is being investigated.
okay well if you’re investigating it still a month later that’s a bad sign. y’all need to fix it. it’s such a small fix it makes no sense to take this long.
