Pretty much spot on. I have played 40 games now with the OS East guys and so far it's been a lot of fun. Also playing on PS4. Covering the post with L1 instead of R1 is a pain, hopefully they get feedback and either change it or allow for mapping controls.
I really do like the class system. It will definitely add to the enjoyment of the game.
A couple of times, I have had some major lag issues, especially Saturday night, but it's been better since and was fine Friday. Could have just been me no one else was complaining about it as much.
I just got done playing some 3 on 3 (user goalies and 2 forwards) and I'll say this about the AI. Sometimes it plays better than I expect. AI behind the net needs to be fixed, they lose the puck on the net all the time. That, and if you get a defensemen AI in front of the goalie and pass it to him, he almost never is able to control the pass. Not sure if that's intentional or not to create havoc, but would be nice if they fix. I'd describe the AI as inconsistent if I had to describe it in one word. I think it plays better than 15 though, mainly playing Be-A-Pro for close to 200 games being my comparison.
AI Goalies are pretty sharp overall, usually only give up 0-3 goals and making you really work for it.
You can tell a lot of time and effort by EA went into team play and a better experience and more rewarding experience for solid team play, which is what sports are all about.
I double-checked something on the stat tracking. It doesn't seem to be giving you credit for a blocked shot unless you press the shot block button. I sometimes do, sometimes do not, but I've played 40 games and it says I have 1 blocked shot. Obviously that is off, but I rarely actually use the block shot button so think that could be the issue.
If they added some more features to the dressing room like game tracking or at least refresh every 30 seconds so we could se the progress of the current game that would be nice. I also think it would be really cool if they added the ability for people in the dressing room to scrimmage or practice or something. Maybe one day...
Menus and features are still a bit laggy compared to FIFA or Madden, but improved over 16 for sure.
The future looks bright, just wish they were building on this from last year instead but it is what it is. So far, things are looking up on 16 and this gen going forward.
