Good point, they are very close in skill. I'm only 12 games into my be a gm mode so it's not something that's totally stuck out for me, but it's only a matter of time before it does the more tinkering around I do.

I haven't heard anything regarding player editing, but that's something I would want back in for sure. They have to be careful. If they don't add things back in quick enough, it'll be a lost cause and that will be unfortunate for the series.

They say they trying but nothing concrete so take it for what its worth but I think they will get it done as its huge not having a editor

I've had every variation since 1991. (geez, im old) Gameplay is great by my eye, we all recognize the the features that are lacking. I play offline GM mode mainly, so although it's present, it's still not complete. 3 stars will be added soon along with drafting manually, but what about being able to save coach strategies from game to game? It'll also be nice to have AHL players accumulate points and have the option to play those AHL games. Last thought......when is this September patch supposed to be released?

Same here as the atmosphere ,gameplay and physics in this game is amazing and dont forget they will also be adding a Free Content Playoff mode in September

How do you pull the goalie while in game? I can't find the answer anywhere. Thanks in advance for your help.

Left Bumper and select. At the same time.

LB+the media button (I don't know what it is called on the next gen systems) will pull or replace your goalie on the fly. Or you can pause the game and do it under team management.

Haven't picked this up yet. How is playoff atmosphere?

At the start you see the fans waving towels and behind Eddies and Docs intro but theres a volume issue as I can hear the crowd but its to low so what I did was this raise the volume to where you can hear the crowd and then tone down all the others to your liking to blend , its a fix but not perfect .

Playoff Mode almost seems like a port from the ps3 as the gameplay in playoff mode seems the same as NHL 14 and IMO even puck/player physics that were excellent in play now mode are now absent or lacking but who knows with the momentum .

Just my opinions but I hope it helps

Played one game last night...

Was hoping that the commentary would be different in that mode versus regular season/Play Now..

Nope. Same exact commentary. They better record more emotion/intensity for Doc next year...he's so not himself with his goal calls/intensity.

I wonder if its possible to simply take his commentary from actual games and put it into the game? I thought I read EA did this with Jim Nantz

I don't own the game.

I have watch a few games on youtube - ps4 - and 100% of the time when a team gets possession of the puck in their own end of the rink they successfully take it up ice and get into the opponent's end. Is there a way around this?

I notice on defense the team seems to auto switch to the player closest to the puck. Can auto switch be turned off?

Thanks.
