The changes to the skating will definitely help the game. They are much needed because there was still a lot of tuning that needed to be done after implementing the new skating last year. I figured with EA introducing the new skating last year it would definitely have it's flaws, but some of the issues seem to have been tuned up a bit for this year. Tuning the skating isn't going to sell me the game but if the skating is tuned properly that could make this game play much better.

What I also noticed is Nashville's "Bridgestone Arena" is finally licensed. Maybe some of the other no name arenas will be licensed as well.

Nice changes! I really like the defensive strafing. That's long overdue. The only thing I see that could be troublesome is that they made it so you can then sharper going at high speeds. That doesn't seem very realistic. We'll have to see. I hope this doesn't allow "figure skating".

EA seems to be addressing a lot of problems i didnt like about last years game. Overall i liked nhl 13 (i thought it was one of the best sports games ever) but every now n then there were things that would take away from the experience (dumb line changes, defenders slowly turning around, poor ai decisions). There really isnt a huge, major change or addition this year but all the little tweaks should make for a better and more enjoyable game of hockey.
