lol. One thing that will need fixing, is player ratings. Morgan Rielly(Leafs 5th overall pick) is 55 and 2.5 stars of potential(out of possible 5)

Sure, Yakupov is 62 overall and 4.5 stars potential and Murray is 60 overall and 4.5 stars and Reinhart is 57 overall and 4.5 stars

But others like Galchenyuk is 2.5 stars!2 picks in top 5 were only given 2.5 potentials?WORST dman in Leafs AHL team is better than Rielly.

One question I had has been answered.

The background DOES change if you trade players. I just tested it out and traded some guys to the Leafs, and when the background automatically changes every few seconds, they did show the player on the roster, in the background as 1 of the 3 players on the customizable fave team menu screen.

There's lots of moments in NHL Moments live(26 as of now, if 12/13 season happens, you can download more moments)

1st one is using Gretzky, 2nd is using Lemieux. There's also more recent ones such as ones from 2012 like Crosbys return against Jets

I know it's not an impression, but I don't know where else to put this and am hoping to get a few games in later this afternoon before the download goes up.

Like I said, I played 5 min periods and got rid of hit/pass assistance and increased penalties

lol, for team intros, they added in crowd booing when opponent steps on ice
Biggest impact in skating seems to be when you turn, or try changing directions
Commentary is still the same
Players fight for position infront of net
Cutscenes are better than in past game, and like in the demo, after the play, we see the cutscenes air, but the commentary in the full game actually goes with the cutscene
Can't bump into goalies and knock them down
Shot and Hit power needs to be adjusted down at least 2 points
Goal celebration stuff is same as in demo
Player fatigue needs to be adjusted down
Same game ending cutscene as usual(no 3 stars either,but it's in the menu like last year too)
The players faces really do seem alot improved

After 2 periods(10 minutes toal since it's 5 min periods, so for a real game, this is what each periods stats might look like)
Sens:
7 shots
8 hits
66% passing
1 penalty
3 faceoffs won(I adjusted faceoff difficulty to the middle)

Leafs(me)
1 goal
11 shots
14 hits
51% passing
0 penaties
8 faceoffs won


Final:
Sens:
15 shots
10 hits
67% passing
1 penalty
6 faceoffs won

Leafs:
1 goal
13 shots
17 hits
48% passing
1 penalty
8 faceoffs won


As you can see, penalties still need fixing(only 1 per team in 15 mins of play,most people will have 10 min periods, so that'll still average out to like 2 per team, NHL average is 3-4 per team,per game)

Then with 20 minutes periods, the average would be met.

lol maybe, but adjusted sliders and 10 min periods is what most people do, so they still get like 30 or so shots per game, around 3 goals and stuff like that, using 10 min periods.

Or maybe it could be a 1 game thing, I'll play again later, I'm gonna add custom sounds to the game first, and try out gm connected
