things i picked up on,

- From playing offline seasons on HUT , its a bit unsettling that i can still score my cheap goals from 16.
- i ran my first game without a goal horn as the islanders, and i noticed the Yes! YES ! YES! chants after goals. then in my 2nd game when i turned on the goal horn, they yes yes yes chants would go away all to together now till the end of the game for the salute to the crowd

- CAN I PLEASE MUTE THAT FAINT MENU SOUND THAT NEVER STFUS. I play with a headset and its super annoying now

Enjoying playing the different modes but the commentary presentation is boring. The nhl is the type of sports game were the action is going on at a high rate and the commentary is too dull in its delivery.

How is this not goalie interference. (the ref actually counted this) everyone quit or the game glitched out afterwards

not sure how to embed twitter videos

Played some single player HUT. While I don't like the general tuning, the changes to skating, pivoting, and vision control are more apparent to me there.

-There seems to be more small animations for foot movement to make movement seem more fluid and realistic.

-The AI also seems to do a better job in the the offensive zone moving off of the puck, and then setting up in an attacking posture relative to the puck carrier.

-Short passes feel ten times better.

-Puck chop seems op. The puck can be rimming around the boards at high speed and you can puck chop the puck in the opposite direction with ease.

-More AI back check, and I generally really like how the AI sets up defensively.

-AI doesn't get pulled out of position as easily when cycling. You really have to be more varied offensively it seems.

-Like I said, I don't like the general tuning, but I like some of the apparent improvements, and am encouraged to fool around with the new sliders.

-Overall it's not a revolution at all, but it is an improvement over 16 in some subtle, but important ways.

-Do wish there were more/better custom logos for CAT. Of course, import logo would be ideal, and I absolutely cannot believe they introduced this feature without, at least, a basic import option.

Played roughly 8 games with my EASHL 4 mates. So much of the play felt more polished, more weighty, tighter except 1 thing...

The goalies are horrendous in EASHL now, AI goalies. We had 1 game have less than 4 goals a tightly played 1-2 OT loss. Every other match was 6-5, 4-7, 5-6, 5-7... We had a match finish with 3 players having hat tricks and another with my average squadmate finish with 6 goals... As a power forward.

It basically seems to be drive-by goals going back across the goalie cannot be stopped.

We had fun outside of the comic score lines.

Only one major complaint from me. I play pretty much exclusively EASHL.


Hustle is overpowered. The AI Defense just gets skated right by every time for an easy cross crease goal for the other team. I've hated the hustle option since it's inception, but this year it seems to make even more of a difference. There's just no penalty in EASHL for people using it constantly.
