CHEL lobby wait times

I feel the new game intentionally makes the game difficult for anyone who has played and NHL game in the past.  

They forced a new set of controls on everyone.  These new controls and “mechanics “ or “ animations “ greatly reduce a players overall control of their characters actions, primarily he goes from one “animation to another.  

the new controls have obvious glaring problems and poorly mapped locations for reverse hit etc.  they offer a player no option for cancelling a big hit.  When a character has a big hit button pressed  but can’t deliver he also can’t poke check or pick up a lose puck, furthermore when he finally does release the button he better be by himself on the ice otherwise he will inadvertently take a penalty.  

All this to say

it appears that EA has made the decision to ruin the game for the physical players.  To allow the no defence playing 160 pnd dangler to skate around unimpeded.  Since EVERY good teammate and CHEL player knows how to play both sides of the puck, they have decided to level the playing field.  You don’t need to be good or proactively defend.  Just stand around and wait.  If you start dominating too much physically they give you made up penalty’s like Elbowing, or Boarding.  Who asked for that?  More penalties?  Not the good players who play both sides of the puck I promise you that.  

in short the community is dwindling because they are catering to casual gamers.  This is not a casual gamers title.  Give the people back their game.  

Fix the controller scheme !!!! Offer the old layout!!! We.  Know you won’t do that though.  This was done deliberately.  Fix the controls!!! Fix the controls!!! Fix the controls. 
it worked fine last year now fans of this franchise are furious and leaving in droves
