What do you mean? Can you not adjust things like shot power, accuracy, speed, etc...?

Not for GM Connected. You still have full access to sliders for regular Be A GM.

NHL is the SSX of team sports games, if u take away the arcade precision control then you possibly lose the fun too. I want a balanced game and being a little over the top but still true to the sport isn't the worse thing in my opinion.

This sums up my feeling about the back skating too, TD.

The SSX of sports games? I wouldn't go that far, sure theres a few elements in the game that are exaggerated but its not even close to nhl hits.

It looks awesome, but as mentioned, it is waay too easy to go into a backskate from skating forwards with little momentum loss.

Not that it should be usable in many situations, and I don't play a ton of online versus anyways.

I love how they are making the puck more loose. Hopefully we see less times where the puck carrier stickhandles through you. Reminds me of what was great about 2k hockey.

I didn't like the up and down perfect passing with no neutral zone game. Hopefully that is better on higher difficulties.

When I watch these videos I watch as someone who plays a ton of EASHL and 6v6 league games. The huge hits and the backskating are going to make those two things a mess.

Hopefully the more powerful pokechecks help correct the ridiculous backskating and get rid of the issue in NHL 12 of guys just skating right through stick checks not losing the puck.

I am excited though about the AI and I might actually play a ton of GM connected.
