EASHL AI worst I've seen in Years

Idk what EA has done but this years EASHL AI is the absolute worse I've ever seen. The defensive AI is constantly out of position, always leaves the defence even when set to stay back and defend. Always caught flat footed, delayed passing when asking for it. Delayed reactions when looking for an open player to pass to which then creates turnovers because the AI just looks blankly into space, gets hit and turns it over in the defensive zone which 9 times out of 10 leads to a goal. Something has to be adjusted here
