Same game different year same problems

EA is continuing to show they have no care at all for the gameplay experience. I'm hearing there were finally updates this year I was excited and bought again... First three seconds of launching my be a pro and it is the same reel I've been watching for 4 years now... First time trying to play a game and all the same bugs are there for 4 straight years... Not even remotely trying to fix them either. In fact gameplay has gotten even worse. I can be skating away from a defender in the middle of the ice but somehow he hits me, while chasing me, so hard my guy struggles to get up. Defenders pick off or hit anything withing 5 ft of them but then your own guys just skate backwards letting the team shoot freely on your goalie... This game has become so beyond broken and just a money grab this will be my last year if I don't sell it before Christmas
