Sadly, it seems like when they created/designed form score, they decided that actual hockey plays and skill are not viable for how a player should be judged. This is like how they are for their online modes (focus more on scoring then actual hockey plays).
This was one thing they heavy promoted before the launch of the game but instead of offering a true hockey experience (which is what said) they force you to play how they want you to play and actually make some playstyles (which they offer to let you play) completely useless and a deterrent.
Its just another mode/feature they half did and will now leave as is for years to come, cause my guess is that they don't know how to fix it.
