I'm having the same problem. With 8 minute periods on Rookie I can usually win 9-1 or something along these lines. When I move up to Pro they constantly steal the puck, hold it in my zone while they snipe away. The first two periods I can keep it 2-1 and then in the third they can easily score 3-4 more with me barely getting a shot off. Very frustrating.
They need to patch this to make the transition smoother. Rookie has become boring and Pro has become frustrating so much that I'm 7 games into a season and don't really care to play it anymore.
