Ridiculous gameplay

This game really needs a new ai engine. After all these years it keeps getting worse. Im not great but I am way better than half these other players and yet I get smoked half the time. These guys go undefeated for multiple game on end and I barely win 2. I do EXACTLY the same things the do and clearly doing work the same, I poke check just like them at the right time and I get a penalty.  Like seriously how in the world are people saying its great cause its not.

    There are elements in the game that have been totally ignored by EA. Two of them being. Poke checking. And Hitting. The AI has been set up to be able to manipulate both these elements at any time, and with a higher % of accuracy. Where you as a player, have to be in the right position to effectively poke check. Or lined up in order to use the shoulder check, since this is the only check that has any weight behind it. And trying to lineup your AI opponent for that check, is a rarity, seeing that the AI players generate elite edges, and somehow are able to manouver out of a check. The game should have been sent back to the drawing board. 45 seconds after it hit the market.
