The one thing that bothers me sometimes is the pass back to the point on a 5 on 5 situation, the lack of pinching in by the D etc.

Cross crease or cross slot, always works for me, because I only do it when it's there, can't force it anymore which I like
I don't mind that they take away the cross crease passes. The one that really bugs me is when I cross into the slot and try to drop a pass to the guy coming in behind me. The AI usually sends it all the way back to a guy on the point. Like I said, I can usually make these work when I turn off the assisted passing, but then making a hard pass become stupidly difficult because you have to hold the button for so damn long.

Also, I can't stand it when I'm sitting behind the net with the puck and my AI players are just standing around instead of battling to get in position for a pass. That's not realistic at all.
