If I remember right, Chase...you usually play on All-Star [hardcore], if that's what I was looking at, this will serve me well. I was pleasantly surprised at times, how fairly aggressive the AI was defensively. So overall...I liked what I saw, gameplay wise.

However, kinda disappointed about how the post goal celebrations are handled this year. Not really liking the cut scene to the crowd first, and really no players seen celebrating the goal on ice. Also no 3 stars announcement after the game. What's up with that? In these two areas, the game imo, has gone backwards. The game just doesn't need presentation value taken away. Strange decisions. I know the commentary is getting stale now. But I do think its still dang good though.

But again...digging the most valuable part of any sports game...the gameplay!

Thanks again for doing this for us, Chase!
I perfer the 5 man canned cutscenes we had last year to what they did this year to be honest. Unless they plan on going full on real time presentation next year/in the near future I'd hope they can just go back to what we had in 11 on goal celebrations.
