I contacted the team re: fights, and this is what they said:
This is working as designed.
Don’t use your stars to hit if you don’t want them to fight.
Don’t charge into hits (glide). Even if it doesn’t trigger a charging penalty it may trigger a retaliation fight.
The second one there is the main thing, players used to previous games get in the habit of always going for a huge hit when they can, which obviously leads to fights. Trying to go for smaller checks with the intent of removing the puck rather than blowing someone up will avoid almost all forced fights.
