The CPU killed penalties a little smarter too. Instead of chasing my man all the way behind my net after they clear the puck, the CPU peeled back and awaited my break out. Puck physics seem better. More loose pucks and I'm seeing pucks bounce and roll on end. I had restarted my season a little while back because of a botched tuner and I'm only 18 games in but now I'm glad that happened because I'm looking forward to playing it out even more now. I do wish they added the new Bauer pads and corrected the season stat thing but overall excellent job EA

Glad to hear it's playing pretty well. Might have to get a few games in this weekend!

However, I think the bigger takeaway from the added player separation is that EA listened to our feedback, realizes that it is (hopefully was) a problem, and implemented a fix. Hopefully this bodes well for future titles too, but I'm not going to get my hopes up yet based on past experience with this series.
