So far I haven't had to many hooks trips or slashes unless I legitimately deserved it for poor play decisions. Can't wait for Friday this looks like the most well rounded game since 07/08 when skill stick came out. The addition of the new AI and the NZ forecheck also cut back on penalty's. It seems as long as long as the teams are in position and playing in the system chosen they will take less penalty's.

I hope your right, but from my time with the demo, just haven't seen enough penalties to be optimistic yet. I know only a demo, but until I can see the real game in action, gonna have to go off that plus past versions......I so hope that I am wrong
