As someone who has loved nhl through thick and thin for the past 8 years, this years game is borderline unplayable. The mechanics and puck bounce engine is horrible, the skating is wonky, skill moves are overpowered and work even when not performed correctly, hip checks from behind somehow knock you backwards even if you're skating forward, and poke checks are worse than ever. It seems EA wanted to appease the complainers, while leaving the loyal players hanging out to dry.
