Got the game recently and am working through Be A Pro mode. Or was, until I decided to stop playing today.
The teammate AI is just awful. Particularly my defensemen, who stand around, give the puck away in vital areas and drift into the skating lanes of others. They also back into the goalie when challenged and allow the puck carrier to curl into the slot pretty much every rush. In most of my games so far, they have been worst than useless.
My teammates can never seem to make a pass either. Half the time when I call for the puck, it's 2 feet too far behind or in front of my player, and it doesn't seem to matter how easy of a pass it was. Wingers frequently pass the puck in the defensive zone onto the stick of the opposition in the slot. They'll also ignore my player when he's wide open in certain circumstances and then pass it into his skates from two feet away.
The hitting is also bizarre.
Pretty unimpressed so far.
