Something changed in the gameplay...
I've seen a few post here and on Reddit that I couldn't agree more with. Since the last update about a week ago something definitely changed in the gameplay. I've seen your awnser on a thread ...
Forum Discussion
Let's ask this way: Why does the game speed need to be so fast? A big part of the community likes real ice hockey, not speed skating.

Community ManagerWe've seen a lot of feedback since launch on how the game speed is slower. Which, is accurate. The speed was slowed down for 25. The recent claims that we secretly sped it up are not true. You're welcome to provide video of instances where you feel it's too fast. I'll send that over to the team for review.
If you want feedback on how trash the pro difficulty is go see your twitter post about the panarin moments. Yes those moments are way too difficult, but pro difficulty is also way overpowered. And as I said, the overall aggressiveness of CPU is off the chart. All they do is charging and ragdolling you all day long starting on pro and beyond.
You wanted videos. Here's 2 for the moment.
1: Why is that impossible to get that puck? It happens way too often. The player you hit doesn't get separated enough from the puck and those CPU are so freaking perfect/never tired/never injured/never suffer from winded getups that of course they stand up before you successfully take the puck and take it themselves...
2: Here's what happened at least 5 times tonight when I quit the Panarin top shelf moment, infinite loading screen. I had to close my game and start the whole game again 5 times.

I'll send you some more videos when I get more.
Here's another video about the aggressiveness of the CPU.
How is that not a cross-check? Like what game are we playing here? Nhl?
Also why are the CPU never affected by full pressure? They never run out of energy, they do the same play, this hit as hard, they skate as fast, they're still super aggressive but always full of energy..
Here's another video. How did the CPU got enough momentum to bump me THAT far and make me fall? You lose control of your player for 2 seconds everytime you get hit because of the animation and the 1p meters travel time...
Also, the hit didn't removed any stamina and I was full. How the getup is THAT long?? I was literally at 100%.
