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.

I love the idea of hardcore passing in theory, but in practice I couldn't figure it out at all. I bowed out of the CP league because I just couldn't handle the frustration. I'm not really sure what my deal was, but I just couldn't manage it. I agree with you though, it would be cool if the accuracy adjusted on the fly in response to the situation.
