That's just misinformation.
Logically, you shouldn't be able to backskate forwards.
If the developers actually wanted to make the game closer to real life, vision control would be a 1 or 2 second toggle only used to reposition, with a severe speed penalty, 2 seconds after the pivot.
Only in NHL can you skate full speed to the right, turn on a dime with L2 with zero stopping animation or speed penalty and still maintain possession while getting sandwiched between 2 defenders.
It's not hockey. It hasn't been fixed because it's intentional.
