Poke check and stick lifting

 This game is probably the worst it's been for defencemen in a really long time. You can't poke check, guy just walks through 3 4 5 pokes and scores not even fazed. Stick lift is non existent. You are standing basically on top of the player back door when a pass comes through to him and he bangs it in un fazed, poke check doesn't work, tie up doesn't work, doing the LB drop down with the stick(block shot) trips him and sitting on his lap doesn't even distract him enough to miss the puck. So the only defensive move that works is the overpowered hitting with truc and if you miss he's home free and if you don't hit him completely square it can result in a penalty. I am on a top team in club play and have been for years and honestly I don't even wanna play until they fix these issues, its not fun for me. I can't defend to the best of my ability cause it's broken so i'd rather not play and get walked constantly letting my team down cause ea wants to appease to casual players by letting everything go in and make it undefendable against the better players that know how to utilize LT. I sure hope there are some big changes coming to the defensive side of the game or i might be hanging up the skates for the foreseeable future.
