no defense after latest patch

i just got hit 9 times in the first 61/2 minutes of first period, if there gonna leave it like this i’d like to get a refund, this game to me absolutely fun before this patch, now it’s back to nhl 26 hits. there is hardly any board play any more, cpu kicks it out real fast. i’m shelving this until they fix, every game plays the same now 50 to 60 hits a game just for cpu, my god.
