the new controls take some getting used to, but its a big improvement know you won't accidentally do a pokecheck now or vice versa

there are still times where if you get too close to the puck and try it wont trigger the animation or it will perform a slower animation where you whiff on the chop

I've found the chop is now a good move to use for defenseman if a puck is dumped in around the boards and you dont look like you will have time to pick it up and pass. I just chop it to keep on going thru to the other side now and it works great

I think high level players will find some good uses for it moving around players in the neutral and offensive zones this year now that it is somewhat reliable

now that it's consistent I think it can be move useful as a weapon in the neutral zone

Not that NHL 13 was broken in any way, it was an awesome game, but I notice 0 difference between NHL 13 and the NHL 14 demo. The anniversary mode is a huge waste of resources, other than the blue ice, star indicator and the controls (which you could play in previous versions), nothing is different and not sure why they wasted time on making this mode. The game will be good, but I wonder how much a new version is justified.

Feels like 13 with easier way to hit and new way to fight.
Poke checking is toned down.
Seems like you freeze sometimes after delivering a hit
Sometimes i can't get the puck off someone no matter what i do
Teammate A.I. is still bad
I wish they had replays in (seems like they do this to hide problems)

im one of the games biggest critics and IMO there is a HUGE difference in the skating. much better, more smooth, more fluid.

Are your AI teammates any better at getting open and giving you passing options in the offensive zone this year?

Last year it seemed like every forward without the puck was almost always stuck in a net battle.

So I have to ask.
On the higher difficulties, do the CPU controlled players play according to their attributes?
Or do we still see 4th liners sniping goals and threading needles?

Skating is much more fluid.. scored with 10 seconds left on a deke by Kane.. I'm glad they are easier now.

Fights are pretty cool, you can't just fight anyone.

The presentation and all are the same, but the skating is definitely much more fluid.
