Player switching is broken. Video

@EA_Aljo but why does completely ignore the player in the middle? If it's supposed to give the player in best position, that would seem to be the player in the middle, not the player still inside the offensive zone. That doesn't make any sense to me.

I know my player is a bit closer in this clip, but it selects the player behind the puck carrier even though he's in a bad position.

Your video isn't working. Regardless, I'm not saying it's perfect every time, but it's certainly not broken.

Gee wouldn't it be nice to have icon defense choice the same as icon passing. it would not be hard to add  - it is just an extension of icon passing but on the defensive end. You hold R2 and pick the icon you want and that player on the defensive team is selected.

Please pass the above post  on to the dev team

You can already manually switch players by holding in RT/R2. I'll pass on the feedback though.

It does not go to the player you want on a constant basis. in your post above you admitted the game may choose the player it thinks has the best play on the puck. That is not want the player wants, They want the game to let them pick the player they are trying to pick as they may have a different way to defend the play than the game thinks that hey should.

When you manually select a player by holding in RT/R2 and then flicking the stick in the direction of the player you want, this overrides the automatic player switching. Regardless, I know it's not the easiest to get the player you want unless there are no other players along the same path you're aiming.

I'll pass on the feedback. Thank you.

@EA_Aljomaybe broken is too strong of a word. It does act weird too often though.

This is the original clip, hopefully you're able to watch it.
