My own teammates betrayed me

The AI defense has gotten constantly worse over the last couple of years.  This year takes the cake.  I have continually watched them do nothing.  Struggle to get back, let the human players skate through or right around them, they play uninspired.  I have changed settings, I have read online what to change and done about every possibility that I could.  Many games our team dominates when they suddenly get the puck, skate down past our AI defense that aren't doing anything and score after having the puck for 12 seconds.  This happens constantly.  The AI is broken.  EA will not listen.  I feel like NHL is barely manned.  The only staff working their is working on next years cash grab or the market place to sell packs.  HELP the gamers and FIX this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
