This is one thing that has always bugged me about EA's game versus the old 2K game, on a powerplay the game doesn't play as if the CPU is defending the powerplay at all and they constantly just go after the puck instead of sitting back to defend.

I am hopeful that it's better now but I sort of think this is likely the same as always.
Unfortunately they still go after the puck constantly. I think they'd have to have entire different code for the players on PK, they play like its 5x5. Not a deal breaker for me, hopefully in the future they can address this.
