offline the game is now worse. can anyone explain to me how you play defence (allstar/hardcore)?
- I can't poke check the cpu players,
- i can't hit them, as there is no player skating physics for cpu as they stop on a dime and pivot,
- the puck never bounces over their stick,
- they win all their defensive board battles easily (ie. even if i have 2 guys on 1 poking at the puck),
- i can't just play sound positionally, as i tried that but the cpu simply waits and waits for a cross crease play and with the defensive AI being stupid and player switching being dumb, there's no way to defend that

how do you play defense offline?

i love how even the content patch doesn't include things it was supposed to (3 stars) ea hockey development team (and the so called QA) can go eat a ****..
get a great goalie


failing that, i have success trying to hit them around the blueline. once they get into the zone, let them cycle and just keep your man in the slot to stop the cross crease or block shot
