Hitting bugs, weird penalties

Probably been discussed to death but im new here. I’m  getting penalties consistently where I’m trying to shoot the puck and I end up hitting the person standing behind me. Another one that happens a lot are boarding calls where the boards aren’t even in play at all. Charging penalties where you watch the replay and they seem perfectly fine. Luckily I dont take any elbowing penalties like last year’s game. This stuff happens a lot, seems like it’s been an issue from the gecko

    As was already mentioned by FourZeroVI, make sure you're not spamming shoot. For one timers, press up on the right stick when the puck is on it's way to you. Also, hold in LT. That will help avoid taking penalties.

    Sorry… who are you and why do I need to prove anything to you lol? Everyone has probably experienced this… why even be difficult about this lol? It’s clearly a bug if you’re checking the person behind you and you’re facing the complete opposite direction. Try and even tell me you’ve never experienced this haha

    We always ask for videos so that we can see what is happening and attempt to reproduce it. We can't fix something if we can't make it happen. If you have anything you want reviewed, put it somewhere it can be streamed and post a link to it.

  • Open ice charging penalties hardly get called  the only time you'll see charging calls is when your near the boards ,elbowing penalties have been all but removed ,as roughing penalties having also be removed, all to make total control look more effective  and I've provided clips on this many times, and yes boarding calls are kind of off and just like interference calls some make no sense

    Productive response. Youre welcome for the attempt at helping you navigate around a situation until a fix happens... If it happens. Also youre welcome for letting you know exactly what EA is going to tell you, that they require a clip to assess your accusations.

  • Dont spam shoot at the net, you can hold shoot once and if you get the puck it will shoot. The other ones youre probably going to have to submit a clip but my assumption is youre hustling within the amount of frames to meet the requirement for a charging call. The boarding one I cant say here nor there because I cant just take your word for the boards not being involved. Future reference always provide a clip to go along with your allegations but for now feel free to try those suggestions.
