I think the NHL franchise really needs to revamp skating all around. Here are some reasons why:
Balance: In the NHL franchise balance is simply one's ability to not fall when getting hit. In actual skating, balance is key; you don't have a shot without balance, you can't pivot, you can't protect the puck, you can't camp and look for a deflection, and so on. Skating should START with the balance attribute. Speed, agility, acceleration, fighting and even shooting attributes should be defined by balance.
Also instead of using balance, acceleration, speed, and agility as your main mechanics, EA should use actual techniques - how are a player's cross-overs? How well to they stop (and go)? How good are they with pivots?
