I would call the AI dumping the puck into the corner and having it go above Zdeno Chara's head a major issue - especially when you have to stop, have your player wait there and lose all momentum in the corner.
Puck physics were easily a major problem and that dump I'm talking about wasn't something you could control w/ sliders.
There were more issues. Players played the same. Teams played the same. It wasn't as good as some people make it out to be and it wasn't as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. On a scale of 1-10, it is a solid 5. It is an average NHL game.
