Wrist shots not counting in BAP The Journey Begins Pt. 2

Product: NHL 22
Platform:PlayStation 5
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Be A Pro mode, season two, enter The Journey Begins Pt. 2
What happens when the bug occurs? Wrist shots are not counting towards the 30 I need to get to complete The Journey Begins Pt. 2.
What do you expect to see? I want my wrist shots to actually count so I'm not screwed out of two X-Factors.
Was the issue in online or offline mode? Offline

Playing BAP in my second year and I was given The Journey Begins Pt. 2, which rewards a couple X-Factors if I attempt 30 wrist shots, 30 slap shots, 50 one-timers, and get 50 points. The wrist shots count towards the total extremely unreliably and randomly. The slap shots and one-timers are counting fine, but the wrist shots are barely ever counting.

I spent 20 minutes in the practice mode just practicing doing the wrist shot correctly, and even in one game, I set the difficulty to rookie (I normally play on pro) and spent the entire game just taking wrist shots. I took between 10 and 20, which came with the green XP notifier above my player saying that I had taken a wrist shot, scored once, and only one wrist shot was added to my count when I checked the X-Factor abilities progress tracker. In my last game I scored, with the XP notifier actually saying it was a wrist shot goal, but it didn't count towards my count.

    Hi there, @EJCirkus681 

    Wrist shots are actually not the easiest. They normally register is snapshots. One way to make them count is to be facing the opposite direction and then press up to shoot. So, if your opponent's zone is up, you face your net (down) and press up on the stick to shoot. That normally registers as a wrist shot. It also works pretty well when coming around from the back of the net and shooting. Not a wrap-around, but just a regular shot.

    Same with me, I even simed from the middle of December to the trade deadline only to see 1 wrist shot taken. Played the rest of the season on rookie mode got multiple in game “wrist shot” green xp notifier, with even a coach feedback saying “nice wrist shots” and I have 1 wrist shot this whole season with only 5 games left of the regular season…
