Another why?

Why does a a NPC like( yes i know they are supposed to be NHL players) Jonathan Huberdeau get 244 hits when I barely get any hits nowadays as a Power Forward like 144. Plus I see NPC’s shy away from my PC as soon as a make a motion to hit. It seems to have taken any anticipation out of the game for a guy that has played the game of hockey in his life out of the actually being good at a video game based on the game he played. I seem to have to hold the hit button longer to make a hit nowadays. Why?
