I love that I actually have to play hockey defense and be patient to cause a counter attack rather than the usual video game hockey tactics. Like I said maybe it's just me but I really like the AI this year very very much.

Well, if the overall AI is improved, that's always a good thing. If it is, I hope I can play and get good results (lose more than 2 games a year), with it set to All Star. I never like to play on the highest difficulty in any sports game because all that happens is the CPU players get attribute boosts, period. NHL is no different. I'm not saying that I'm the best NHL player around, but I got way too good to play on All-Star last year. I never lost and I dominated my opponent, every single game. Super Star was my only option. I traded realism for better final results. This year I hope I can play on All-Star, where Patrick Kane will actually be faster than most players.
