Interference penalties trying to shoot rebounds
Anyone else notice a ton of interference penalties when trying to shoot rebounds in front of the net?

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.

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.
