Where are the rest of the fixes

It would be nice if the stick lift mechanic was altered so a light press on the A button would result in a 'weak' stick lift with a lower success rate but no penalty,  and a slightly longer press on the A button would be a 'harder' stick lift that could be more affective, but the chance of getting a penalty is higher. Of course, animation adjustments would be needed too. A light press should only target the lower half of the stick while a longer press would target closer to the hand. 

The same logic applied to the button press on a sauce pass. Slight adjustment to the length of time the button is pressed results in varying levels of pass power. Apply that to the stick lift mechanic.

That's a great idea.  Even after the NHL cracked down on stick work after the lockout, players still harass the puck carrier with their sticks, they just try to avoid the hands to not get a penalty.  Maybe "success" with this mechanic is a slight loss of puck control, like a bump.

Probably not going to happen because EA seems focused on systematically removing all defensive tools from the game, not adding more.
