Wildcard this week?

Okay, I don't know what's going on.  A week ago I was playing wildcard, i thought to myself "this is kind of smooth", not terrible.  Fast forward to this week?  It is absolutely tragic.  I'm not sure if some dude at EA NHL missed his KPI bonus and decided to mess with the sliders as he was walking out the door on Friday, but it is really bad.  The players move weird, clunky, 2k like if you will.  Puck pounces around like a pinball, which is a common theme this year really.  But it's just awful.  Is it too much to ask for this game to not be in a constant beta version?  i don't understand this.  Anyways, i got the rewards but what an unenjoyable experience.  This is online i'm talking about, i don't play offline.
