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.

I'm in agreement with you, but my issue is my D will sometimes miss a pass that isn't held down (it is quite slow) with nobody even close to them. It's strange that if there's an opponent between you and a teammate there is almost no chance the puck will get through, but if it's just teammate to teammate the pass reception is hit and miss at times.
