Played the demo several times and I'm really liking the gameplay so far. Some things will need to be changed with sliders (mainly poke checking which seems to not be working for me). Also, in my opinion, board play is totally not fluid. When the opposing player is skating towards the boards, my player should be able to slide in behind him and pin him to the board like would realistically happen. This does not happen in the game and is my only major gripe with gameplay. Another issue with board play is when I pin my player to the boards to brace myself for the opposing player, 80-90% of the time the opposing player just takes the puck away from my player effortlessly.

However, and this is a BIG however, if Be a GM is not improved I will not be purchasing the game. Big props to EA for improving the fluidity of the gameplay, but its NOT enough to warrant purchasing the game for me.
