Why has hitting been bien nefed.

Im not sure about  anyone eles but when I go up to hit somebody and line Em up, I'm pretty sure they should hit the ice, not just get tickled. And EA has said they have improved  stick lifts and poke check yet I think that was only the cpu's cause I can't get a poke to save my life like this game is zero skill and even the lt exploit is back like ea need to stop robbing people for 134.00 dollars like fix this **bleep**
