I’m excited about:
-passing (huge problem last year)
-shrugging off checks (I like this because there’s many times where I knew the check was coming and had better body position and thought “hey I’ve seen nhl players avoid checks, I should’ve probably got past him there”
-goalies getting tired (nothing was worse than having a bunch of high percentage shots on a cpu G and they somehow make all the crazy saves.. then the other team scores on weak shots) it’s nice to know the cpu Gs can mess up and mentally get tired like a human would trying to stand on their head
-eashl 16 game playoff instead of club finals
-deep dive reveals (so exciting to learn the ins and outs of the new features)
-I love now that there’s more of a risk to attempt big checks. I thought In 23 it was unfair that you could lay on the ice for 5-10 seconds but the person hitting didn’t get punished at all for mistiming for throwing themselves at you. Now they will pay for trying to charge around the ice.
It's gonna be so fun smashing people into the bench again haha
