I find people still let their AI do all the work. When entering their zone they just switch to a defenceman and let the rest of the team do all the work for them. It' s frustrating
Couldnt they fix this by letting u see in the match up screen if the person is position locked?
Before the game starts so u can leave if u want,
some people are so good it doesnt matter comp or person they dominate, i miss it for vs comp

I hope they bring it back. I don't have the time or patience to master the game for online play, and the position lock gives me a chance to actually win. I lose miserably every time online and going into the game I expect to lose. When I get scored on first I stop trying & rack up shots/hits/etc, or just run the clock down to get it over with.
Obviously the position lock can be exploited, but I've lost my fair share of games using it last year as well.

Fix this issue devs. Add position lock back to vs CPU in HUT!!!!
i'd allow ****.lock when ur playing hut with ur friend on same side because it usually takes so random players when u try pick a player or vs cpu ...kinda annoying
If you want position lock, that's what dropins/EASHL is for. You want to crutch on the AI doing everything for you in a competitive online game. Good thing they removed this ability.
Position lock should come back but only that you can use it against the CPU
My friend and I last year did all the offline challenges together, we had a blast. I would lock as a winger and he would have freelance of the others so we wouldnt have to battle over player... kind of took the fun out of the challenges for me.

This discusion is about offline play but thanks for your input
I would use position lock, because i'm terrible at controlling all skaters. My passing, while great in EASHL suffers greatly when control player and pass aim are the same damn button.
Go play EASHL or Be a Pro if you want position lock. It's not competitive one on one when one player is playing the whole team and one player is position locked.
Position locked online with a full AI team is just lazy. Not to mention very easy as you don't have to micromanage as much. One timers are much easier to set up as well.

They used to as far as i know.
EA devs wanna help out here?
Still waiting on them devs...
I'll probably be dead, or they'll be asking me to buy the next game before they fix this issue.

There's nothing to fix though. They announced before the game came out that position lock was going to be removed.
Cool. EA can refund my $100 then. This game is broken, I paid extra for HUT and I can't play it.

Last of all and most important. Cherry pickers.
