Good:
Adding customized behaviour, should add a feature to build our own shot animation like NBA 2K, maybe cut it into 2-3 parts of customization (I personally want a Stamkos one timer animation from the knees)
Stats are way more in depth which I like, you can show your teammates or yourself what they can work on more.
Observations:
Passes seem like there's less aim assist, and more punishment for weak/quick passes
Stick out seems to intercept more
Auto interception seems to be less
Goalies seem to be better in breakaways, 20 glitch moves don't work as well, I think it's a good thing until people find new glitches.
Pucks fly out slightly more.
Auto pick retrieval after losing the puck doesn't happen which is a good thing imo, it's somewhat between NHL 18 and NHL 20
Suggestions
Allow us to pin exact rooms instead of just the mode e.g. going straight into EASHL clubs 6s instead of going through multiple menus.
If you wanna get rid of the headache of banning people with offensive player names just take out customization for that and only have the PSN ID show. Other way is to have pre set names people can pick like the ones that EA has for play by play names of people want to.
Add a quick/mass hockey bag open feature. Usually a couple months after the game comes out and the longer it's out , too many bags accumulate and I don't wanna open everything. If you want to make some extra $ from WOC you can make certain things available using VC e.g. clothes, cellys, and have a way to earn it in game as well.
For customizing your player, instead of having a pre picked face, force the user to pick a face first so not every beginner looks the same.
When picking traits, beside the stats that are going up or down, show what it's going up or down from e.g. accuracy is red, shows 89, and beside it there's a down arrow and shows from 90.
Glitch:
Screen went dim once when I took a penalty shot, it went back to normal after the shot
Glitch where 2 sticks hit the puck and the puck flies across the ice at 200 mph still exists.
Thanks!,
