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
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.
@hiperay Defence do have that option aswell and are also put in a position where they may get an interference penalty. Neither should happen because its completely unrealistic and a broken horrible mechanic. I am all for skill gap(Really enjoy the skill gap created with hitting) but this is simply a bad feature.
- @HighTmatthew How is it unrealistic that you have to wait until you actually pick up the puck before you can shoot it? That is the most realistic thing you can think of. You can't shoot a puck that never comes to you right? So having two people battle for positional advantage in front of said puck before getting it and either A. clearing it as the defense. or B. shooting a rebound at the net as the offense should make the most sense then from a realism perspective should it not? Which is why I also say that you should be able to do those previously mentioned "aggressive" dives or desperation moves at the puck when its in front. This would be most true to hockey in the form of players making bold attempts at loose pucks in front of the net from both the offensive and defensive teams respectively.
@hiperayit's unrealistic because nobody has ever gotten an interference call when they are trying to shoot it makes no sense. In real life both players are fighting to chop at the puck which is MUCH more realistically represented by players slapping up on their stick, to bat in a goal or bat away a rebound on defence that by awkwardly standing around waiting to see who randomly picks it up. That does not happen in the NHL. Yeah its frantic and mindless in some ways but so is REAL HOCKEY. Have you ever watched? Players don't awkwardly stand around waiting when a puck is infront of the net, they go crazy trying to wack at it.
Either way in NO WAY would they EVER get an interference penalty when attempting a rebound. That looks so unrealistic. I am a defenceman and I have definitely enjoyed baiting people into interfering with me on accident but I know it doesn't belong in the game. Thats not hockey.- @hiperay The problem here is the hitting and the shooting mechanics being the same input. I am not saying the player spamming should instantly dive to the puck and knock it in I am just saying that they should never get an interference penalty(offence or defence). That has never happened once to anyone playing hockey in that position. If the game is trying to be like hockey they have to take out the thing that doesn't happen in hockey.
How long has right stick had shared inputs for shoot/hit? Since NHL '06? You'd think they would've realized it's completely r-worded to have hit and shoot share a button.
