Passes not being intercepted
This happens all the time I will get more clips, in this case you can actually hear the puck hit my stick while directly going through my legs while I am face up to the puck. I have also been on the ...

I took this clip last night. Skater near the boards forces a cross-ice pass, the defender in the slot is in pretty good position to pick off the pass and even starts a puck pick-up animation, but then the animation abruptly stops and the puck goes between his skates and right to the offensive player for an easy tap in goal.
When defenders complain that the game feels rigged in favor of forwards, this is what they're talking about. A defender in the passing lane with more than enough time to intercept a pass has his player stop doing a puck pick-up animation just so that the pass can go straight through him to the forward.

My guess is the pickup animation was stopped in favor of the kick-with-the-skate animation. This failed and the puck went through.
I can see how some people see this and think the game is 'rigged' - but what attributes are at play here? If the defender has a poor defensive awareness rating, it's not uncommon to see mistakes like this - much like you'd see a mistake from a real NHler. Real-world experience will tell you that a pass in the skates is always hard to disrupt due to the lowered reaction time.
same vibes as this
#97 should've played the body on #20 and eliminate attribute RNG as a factor in these scenarios.
