The quality of a pass is of NO consequence to any factors which is a bit ridiculous. In order to resolve the notion of overaccurate passing, they created "hardcore" mode in the past, and simply relied on users failing to use the analog stick direction to accurately place a pass, rather than incorporating negative results from real time factors like puck pressure, handedness, etc.

the one thing about hardcore that i did like in the past, was being able to pass the puck into space (ie. an open corner) but now, any pass you make will automatically route to the player in the direction you are pressing.

i am hoping that we will see improvements in this regard on the next gen hockey game in the coming years.
You will be able to edit sliders. Currently the pass assist is way up, which is why the puck is going to players in the direction you push.
