The overall quality of the game itself took a massive step backwards with the last two patches/updates. Defensemen in front of the net have free reign on forwards, default poke aim seems to be directly into the skates (which admittedly can be corrected if you're skilled and quick enough but its still annoying), goalies are incredibly unbalanced in Chel. Went from having tight 3-1 or 3-2 games to it being a blowout one way or another almost every game, suspicious amount of goals going in that have no business going in...
Skating is fluid, and smooth...mostly. My only gripe is that your player stops and plants instead of pivoting regardless of agility rating.
Contact box needs to be shrunk a little...too much phantom contact resulting in knockdowns
Winded get ups need to be sped by by at least 75%...it shouldn't take 1.5 in game minutes to get up from a check
