Sure its always the players fault,poke checks stil don't work, unless you have the xfactor ability for poke checks then it works great and I was trying a sweep check but as you can see the puck went through my blade,causing my player to bobble the puck

In this case, it's an issue of positioning. I have always said when it's the game's fault. There are plenty of times that's the case. Not in this one though. You could have had better positioning to get a better poke. Yes, the stick clips through puck, but the puck also reacts. You knock it loose. In the real world, not every poke check causes a turnover. The puck was knocked loose and they picked it up because they were in a better position to do so.

So yes the poke check works OK for the player but the opposition cpu in franchise and season modes does not poke check they just hit and push to get the puck off the player hence all the x check penalties the cpu takes and there are no tripping penalties taken by the cpu, it's still no difference after the patch, I've played 6 more hours In franchise mode since the patch and not 1 tripping, hook or slash or high stick was taken by the opposition cpu , i can see it's never going to get sorted,
