Community ManagerHi there, @davehoehn970.
It would be great if you can provide some video on this. Currently, you won't get called for tripping if you're laying on the ice for extended periods of time. A couple seconds or more. That way someone can't purposely cause a penalty for skating into someone laying on the ice. If you drop to the ice in traffic and cause a trip, that's going to be a penalty.
Your comment about getting all the puck and none of the player is correct. If you only touch the puck and you don't touch the player, no call will be made. If you have video of a tripping call occurring without the player being touched by anything, we'd want to see it as that sounds like a bug. Thanks!
Listen, man... I'm old (in terms of gamers)... I don't know how to capture some video for you, but this coding is very un-clean. Yes, if I were to decide to "dive block" in traffic, and I took someone out, that would be a reasonable call, and I wouldn't be dropping in this flurry of posts. This has all been stuff that's built up over a season and a half of Franchise Mode, trying to get something that resembles actual hockey out of the game. I've got it close, but this (and the other stuffed logged today) is a joke.
I'm talking about going down in the slot with someone loading up a slapper from the blue line... that kind of gap. Like, not even close, dude. An idiot would be clicking the two-button "dive" in a net-front cluster. I'm talking about watching a puck bounce off my feet and the ref's arm still going up. Or, a guy skating into me long after the puck is gone, usually while my animation to get up has already started. There's not even that much time between blocking and standing back up, in my experience, to understand where you're coming from about "laying on the ice".
If this were a FIFA-style ball tackle being done in hockey, I would agree with these calls.

What system are you on? I'll get you some instructions for capturing video. You also can do a google search to find out. On Xbox, you just hit the guide button and then X to capture the last 30 seconds of play. We really need to see video of what you're experiencing.
PS4.
Do I run video capture all day long and just wait til it happens? Seems inefficient.

No. You can record what happened. There are different options for this in the settings of your PS4. If you google "How to record clips ps4" you'll see the instructions.
