Too many interference penalties around the net

Something is definitely wrong with the ability to have net battles...the slightest shove is causing interference penalties. Seeing way too many of these occurring while defending in front of my goal...

Hello, @Moxrox84

Have you tried tieing up instead? Personally, I use the stick tie up and it works really well. As far as interference calls go, I'll pass on the feedback for you. As always, video greatly helps so if you get any, please let me know.

@EA_Aljo tie ups are a joke. half the time you end up slashing them or it takes to long to engage the tie up animation

I use tie ups in every game and haven't had a slashing penalty yet. As long as you're holding down the tie up button, you shouldn't be slashing. If this is happening a lot to you, can another controller be used? I'm just curious if there's an issue with that button where it's not registering that it's being held down.

  Here's another one.
  I don't have an issue with slashing or high sticking because of stick lift...I don' t think that's been changed in some time, and seems fine. Like stick checking, you just don't spam it. I don't spam hits either, but this is really frustrating.

    @Moxrox84 Play mostly defense past 5 years and never seen so many interference calls. Completely agree with OP. Again defense gets handcuffed while FWDs can now do dekes that only happen in the NHL once a season. Could be Placebo but feels like game drastically changed past few weeks as I wasn't getting any interference calls unless blatant. Also getting called for bumping a player that just shot the puck.

Net battles ('Y') are a joke. Hold A instead of tapping (mashing?) it. If you are worried about getting a pen, wait until the guy you are covering skates away from you before releasing it.

This hasn't really been my experience thus far. I mean, sure, there are times if my thumb slips or I don't hold the button down long enough that I get a slash, but I tie up A LOT on defense and I find it very effective. I don't really get a lot of defensive interference penalties--it's the offensive ones on a rebound shot that I miss that drive me insane.
