So you guys are complaing about players playing defense?
Protect the puck better. Dump the puck more rather than expecting to skate through where you want without harrasment.
Hockey players in real life have to deal with lots of stick harrassment if the defender is in range. How is NHL 13 different and not realistic in that manner? Maybe the issue is the game doesn't have enough options/controls in regards of protecting the puck, but poke checking I don't think is a major flaw of the game.
Hockey is a very messy sport, with the puck being extremely loose. This is what makes generating good scoring chances so tough. If anything, the direction of the franchise is going to have the puck become even more loose on realistic settings in future interations.
