WOW.

The deking they show at the end of the video looks great. That is something I wanted to see a long time in the game. It has looked awful for several years.

Hmm I was hoping we would get word on the demo today..... Maybe not

The skating and deking at the end of the video was fantastic. Really realistic. Hope not every player can pull off those moves though.

That's probably where issues will arise unfortunately. My hope is that a player needs to have a certain level of skill in both their skating attributes, as well as their stick/puck attributes to be able to pull off those moves with any sort of regularity.

Some of those small moves the player does in the video can almost every player do. Its called stickhandling. Something that wasn't there before. At least not so you can notice.

But not all players can do it as good as the best.

This is what I think anyway.

i wish..hope...pray...these kind of moves requires higher attributes and not TGH or lowered rank TWF players.

Subtle stickhandling has been sorely lacking in the past. This looks very nice.
