NHL 16 puck carrier randomly skate backwards

I remember one of the games in way earlier games you had to hold the button to skate backwards ANY time.

I get that they have it in there to help people on the backcheck who aren't used to the controls, but holy man does it ever screw me up a lot!!!

One of the most frustrating things I've found with this game... other than the terrible selections when you hit the change player button sometimes - seems like it works in coordination with momentum somehow so it's impossible to pick the guy you need in time to stop buddy from scoring.

Or maybe it chooses players based on their overall rating or their playing position rather than who you need in the specific play. Like buddy is coming fast towards your end and you have both defenders back, it picks the guy that can't reach him in time, like every time... by the time you get the right guy, you've lost your position on him and then your guy is still skating backwards behind him, then he's on a breakaway... when you didn't even press the skate backwards button, and you have to loop around to get skating forwards to try to catch up to him to stop him... So frustrating!!!!

Momentum or not, you should be able to pick the guy who is going to stop the other guys play, at least after the second time pressing the change player button, not the 3rd or 4th time.
