Apart from some cosmetic missteps, this is really my only current complaint of the franchise right now. The gameplay is much better, but EA has hit a wall in terms of realism in difficulty settings and increased AI. I account for this by creating my own challenge on Pro setting: intervening late in games when I am trailing. Giving myself 5 minutes gametime to come back from a 3 goal deficit is the best I can do, because if I play the entire game on 5 minute periods I'll win by 20 goals. On All-Star, I'll end up with a broken controller.
At least they compensated this year by tightening up said gameplay.
