Nhl25 defensive gameplay

Hi. I am playing as a defender in Eashl. I feel awful about this new game and i do not want to. The new skating is more arcade and less real in my opinion. You can turn like crazy and acceleration is too fast. It is much harder to move and cover players and some players can now slalom through the defense. Pokes miss alot even if my stats is super high. You cant do small hits standing beside a player anymore. The defense side is alot less fun than previous years. I do not find anyone else that share my opinion so i wonder why that is. I feel It is more arcade and less realistic. It is more responsive and fast but not in s good way. Also It is less pass intercepts than before and like 50% goes through the player even if i stand infront of the receiver looking at the player passing. 

I only hope that they release a patch that fix some of it. I want to like the new game but i just do not. What i like is the new graphics and the puck physics.

Any other defensemen that struggles with the new game?
