Basically to make the game more realistic. If your right beside your team-mate and he passes it to you at a very fast speed the puck isn't just going to sit on your stick on impact. It will bounce off. If you try to pass it across the ice when there is 2 defenders between you and your team-mate, the defenders shouldn't just sit there and watch the puck go past them. They will block it with there legs or sticks.
It basically forces people to make better decisions. Pass only if there is an open lane, don't pass at light speed if your team-mate is 5 feet ahead of you. I personally like this tweak that EA added.
