The core mechanics of the game are broke , or just terrible...
Attributes need to be reworked .
Ai needs to understand coaching.

Ai needs to know which stick hand a person is so they can play them properly.
Pucks need to not warp through skates and bodies into sticks.
Poke checks need to work with puck momentum and player momentum.
Back skate has always been broken as AI doesnt know speed , when to turn around and play their man.
AI doesnt understand basics of hockey in general, like taking the man. They get so lost when theyre already in the D zone and a skater comes into the zone .
Ai doesnt know passing and shooting lanes.

I've been saying this in the original forums even, EA just dont get it... when ben Ross was promoted, I really thought he had a good grasp on what needed to be done ... Clearly he either wasnt allowed to do so, maybe he sold out, or just didnt know how to push this game in the right direction ...
Its too bad.
Puck warping is my biggest minus of gameplay + goalies that let the puck through them, like the goalies wont even exist.
