I'm actually hoping for "sluggish." The game tends to be too end to end. It would be nice to have great defensive postioning and build up play. I love sitting still and using a skill move to open up space for a cutting pass. That's more authentic to what I see on TV. I had read they made the D a lot smarter by making its decisions over multiple frames, as opposed to one move by the user. I'm intrigued to see it in action.
