Anyways, i no longer even switch to playing a dman once the opposition gets the puck. i simply take control of the nearest forward and backcheck and just play zone in the middle slot. only switch control to d if they forward is about to get behind the d. This works most of the time, as the cpu d have better luck at laying out a hit or poke check.
I'm 8-3 since taking this approach. I wish i wasn't such a hockey fiend, as instead of having to play thru this (and whine about it) i'd rather just burn the game.

Not meant as an insult, but you'll get worked as you progress through the divisions if you maintain this style of play.
Learn how to defend. It's not broken, it just takes a while to get good at playing D.
