I get along fine without using any of these features. They never work the way I want them to. Poke check is especially infuriating...I'll be in great position, sweep at the player in the exact same way the CPU does to me, and miss everytime. Even if I do get it to work, the CPU ALWAYS regains the puck (same with the lift stick).

I cannot emphasize enough how f'd I'd be without the bolded features. Stick lift is the lone feature that is probably a lot more trouble than it's worth. I end up high sticking people way more than I end up gaining control. However, when the puck is being cycled and your guys are a half step behind I find nothing levels the field like a well timed lift. It gives you that split second you need to get in the shooting/passing lanes.
