Again, it would be good if you posted video so the community could give you some advice for defending these shots better as they're really nothing new. People have commonly scored with cross-crease and far side shots for years.
There's good cross-crease goals and bad. I agree that passes to the forehand in a ready position have a great chance to go top shelf consistently but the one-timers where it's someone leaning ahead with his stick outstretched from one hand and they direct that top shelf the majority of the time that are unrealistic. It's about realism more than anything for that I think.
Community ManagerSo, the issue isn't cross-crease goals, but you think redirecting the puck and going top-shelf by stretching your stick out is unrealistic? I guess we can agree to disagree again. I'm not seeing a lack of realism with this. Sure, they aren't happening every day, but they aren't exactly unrealistic.

You don't see anything unrealistic because you're able to find one clip a year where it happens in the NHL? This is why it's so difficult to communicate, send in clips and give feedback because you guys think the most outrageous plays are normal and you don't even know how wrong they are.
Community ManagerThe average person is also playing a far higher amount of games than there are in a regular NHL season. It's also possible you're seeing more shots. People also attempt the same shots over and over and over again. If all you do are cross-crease attempts, this is more likely. This particular shot is really uncommon for me, for example. Regardless, it's a realistic way to score.

They do stuff like this then flip it when it's convenient to explain something in their game that doesn't happen in real life. The excuse is oh it's a game it can't 100% mimic the real thing.

If this one-handed top shelf redirection is happening so often to you, why don't you post an abundance of clips to prove to the development team that it's NOT your defensive shortcomings resulting in the numerous times you see this goal happen?

This is because half of the user-base who play competitively online are terrible at defence. If your opponent is able to "do nothing but walk through the goal area" - then you're doing something wrong.

No where in my post did I say this doesn't happen in real life
Bro. You literally did say that:

You're likely going to say that you didn't say this specific scenario doesn't happen in real life, but it's exactly what you implied and you know it lol

@EA_Aljoand yet we have people complain about poke checks and how awful they are compared to real life..
Because people are SPAMMING it, using it in bad positions, and generally don't understand the underlying mechanics around why players obtain/dont' obtain the puck immediately after a poke check. The people complaining about poke checks are the same ones complaining that "cross crease is too OP". Both are the result of poor play by the user, which nobody wants to admit.
