The puck being glued on to the players stick when they "Turbo" is a joke. People are going to be figure skating around the defense because they never give them any help. Hopefully it's really easy to check them and get the puck off of them, in the video there was no real threat.

That video really didn't do much for me. As noted, that skating stuff you could have mostly done before if you aren't a ned. The goalies look improved which has been needed for years, apparently five hole is very do-able this year but it wasn't shown there.
Terrible BS from the EA guys with their commentary to cover up the AI just being fucking shite. It's also overdue for teams to play formations, cause every team was a clone in games past but I'm not sure how far that'll go. Still needs more individualism in each player I think.
Anyone else notice on almost every rush there was an open cross crease that wasn't attempted? EA probably thought they could fool everyone by just not doing it.

Seems like NHL has peaked.
Its not trash at all...I think the game has gotten a bit stale...so, I don't see the need to go from year-to-year buying it.Comment

I hate that I can hear the commentator saying the same whack azz phrases 'WHOA!'Comment

Basically. The addition of physics for the player models was nice, but they've yet to do it with the puck, which is utterly absurd. It's what made 2K the better game in the mid 00's and keeps the game fresh because of the unpredictability of how it would play out.
I can't stand in EA hockey how there's a couple micro second pause for everytime the puck is passed, shot or saved, so some shitty dice roll can play out to decide what's going to happen, rather than just letting physics just happen. Until they finally let go and make it happen, NHL will remain stale.Comment
