Isn't it kind of insulting to the NHL and the sport of hockey

@Jagavekov while I agree with some of the things you mentioned (like Michigan attempts being through the roof and hip-checks being auto-explosions), I think some of the things you mentioned wanting to see ARE in fact in the game. 

I only play Online Versus so I can only talk about that mode but I utilize the following things in every game I play: 

• Dump ins: A lot of high-ranked versus players use the 1-4 neutral zone forecheck and are really good at taking away your carry options. Usually the best tactic in this case is to dump the puck with speed.
• Defense: Obviously the game has defense. I'm averaging a AGA of exactly 1.00 right now. 
• Loose pucks: I utilize the "puck-chop" to quickly move the puck along whenever I'm in a race to the puck in my defensive zone. Works very well. 

I think one thing you need to come to terms with is that, even in real life, dump-ins (which you seem to be in love with) aren't "fun" to use as a strategy. We get frustrated with dudes at IRL pickup/beer-league when they just dump the puck instead of trying to make a play or playing it back to the defense. While they ARE effective in the game if used at the right time (the neutral zone trap I was talking about earlier), they're not as fun to use and can be risky if you don't use them correctly. 

So, I get that you're frustrated at the moment, but I urge you to open your mind a bit. Maybe you're only playing WoC modes, in which case, idk!
