Most every post of yours is complaining about hitting. I get it. You don't like the new hitting. To say this isn't a hockey game anymore though just doesn't make sense. If all you like to do is hit and now don't enjoy hitting, then you're really just wanting to be a goon. Which isn't the point of hockey. So, when you play the game in that manner, sure, it's not hockey. When you play the game as intended, it very much is though. Is it an absolutely perfect recreation of picking up a stick and hitting the ice? No and that's not what is intended. It's a hockey video game with simulation and arcade elements. As much as you'd like it, it's not a hitting simulator.
For this supposed liaison to suggest that a person who delivers 20 hits and 4 points a game is somehow a goon is disingenuous. His problem is if he admits that the hitting is gawd awful he will get in trouble from the dips at EA who came up with these disgusting hitting mechanics.
player need to learn to defend. If they don’t they lose. Don’t take the ability to defend away from everyone to level the playing field. It’s betrayal of the people who helped build your company
