I agree, a lot of the animations have been real subtle and a major improvement. I love how the animation you generate while shooting is so sensitive to how you are controlling your player and the difference it makes in being able to score.

NHL 15 was a disaster, but NHL 16 is a pretty solid improvement. Probably the best product in the series in the last 3-4 years so they seemed to have improved their approach to the game.
