Glitch goals carrying over from 24?
Are we going to see the same scenarios over and over again like 24. We had the cross crease goals that tbf was mostly fixed. They still go in from time to time but they are easier to stop. One tha...

I wouldn't really consider any of those goal scenarios to be glitches. That's just forwards getting into good scoring position. If real life players were able to get into such positions as often as you can in EA NHL, they'd be scoring plenty more.
I think the issue isn't so much goals going in due to an error in the game's code as much as it's defenders having a combo of not enough tools and not enough skill. If teams consistently allow forwards to get into the low slot, or leave players unmarked at the side of the net, you're gonna give up goals. That said, I also think it should be easier to more consistently engage in net battles, use your poke check/defensive skill stick without being stopped in your tracks, etc.
Defense definitely needs some help to bring the position more in balance with the forwards, but defenders also have to be willing to accept that, no, you didn't make the perfect play every single time.
playing a collapsing defense and building a team with good defensive forwards helps.
