Some early thoughts

Pros: 

• Presentations is noticeable with the improvements
•  Menus seem faster thus far (could be due to less people on the server)
• LT is nerfed enough that it doesn’t seem like a viable meta 
• Goalies make a lot more saves on cheesier shots that tended to go in last year 
• Game is slowed down and less straight lining. Sometimes seems like they’re in mud (this could be a negative) but I’m ok with it thus far
• Hitting is super fun and effective

Cons: 

• Players will be skating next to each other and no puck possession changes. It’s like they’re morphing into each other
• Puck pickups seem hit or miss 
• Same back hand forehand is viable to score 
• Currently in franchise it seems like if you quit the game doesn’t count
• Strategies half save when going into a game (all my lines are overload but in game half of them are 2-3
