I have experienced 3 bugs in the game so far.
1. This has only happened once but it was odd. My opponent won a faceoff, during a powerplay, just outside their blueline and the puck goes back to the defender in their zone. He just sat there for 30 seconds and didn't do anything until I skated towards him.
2. This only happened once as well. I received a penalty and my opponent gets a powerplay. 50 seconds into their powerplay the announcer states that my penalty was over and we were skating 4 on 4. When the announcer says this, sure enough my guy in the penalty box comes skating out. I paused the game and looked at a replay to see who is in the penalty box. My guy with the penalty is still in there even though I just saw him get out of the penalty box. There is also a guy in my opponents penalty box who never received a penalty. This was very weird.
3. This has happened several times unfortunately. I keep getting phantom puck freezes when my goalie never even touched the puck. The opponent will dump the puck in, I will take possession and start skating up one of the sides and all of a sudden the whistle is blown and the announcer says "The goalie freezes the puck." The ensuing faceoff is to the left or right of my goalie just like it would be if the goalie had frozen the puck. Very odd. I've had it happen about 5 times so far.
These little glitches aside, this is definitely the best hockey game ever released. I can't get enough of this game and I sure can't wait until the Xbox version next week so I can hop online and play.
I also would like to mention that if these small glitches were in an EA game everyone would be all over it and tearing EA a new a$$hole. I am willing to bet that no one will even care about these small glitches in this game. Has anyone else experienced any of these?
