I think you guys are crazy.

Did the game play well before? Yes. It produced a decent game of hockey and produced good stats. But there were also so many things wrong with the game before the patch.

Big differences since patch:

1. CPU no longer skates around in neutral zone and actually dumps the puck in. This was a huge pain before the patch and an extreme eye sore.

2. Players seem to be moving more realistically. It takes a game or two to get used to but I'm really enjoying the movement now, a lot less sliding, and a lot slower.

3. Puck isn't flying anymore. On clears, poke checks, and deflections, pucks are no longer flying half way around the rink in these instances anymore.

4. Shots are now way more varied. Guys are missing high and wide a lot more often and no longer am I seeing only 3 types of shots. Before you either missed the goal, hit the goalie in the stomach or the goalie made a glove save. Now I rarely see the goalie make a ridiculous glove save like I would almost every other possession before.

5. This point goes right along with #3 and #4. The goalies are much more realistic. They aren't catching everything, and deflections, as well as rebounds, are much more realistic looking.

I am still playing on my same exact super star sliders from pre patch and loving this game even more than before.

Nice job EA
