I'll wait and see with the gameplay deep dive to see for sure. Still, it seems a bit weird how they removed the movement option, just to rework it and add it back in as something that is new.
Sadly, for the AI part, unless there is major overhaul with it (which maybe possible with "Ice Q").. I can not see this happening (AI players don't seem to understand how to utilize the tools they have). In an offline franchise for NHL 24 (2 seasons - playing all games), I have not seen one player ever attempt "the Michigan" and maybe a handful of the other dekes at most.

Community ManagerThis is highly inaccurate. LT'ing was stopped due to not being able to protect the puck when backskating. This caused you to turn your back to the defender and where the puck was better protected. Now, you're opening your hips and facing the net better so you have more precise lateral movement.
