This is good to hear and it's already been said a couple times by people so far. I think a better more aggressive AI could help take away some of the pain from the easy entry issue.

Game looks great, presentation is fantastic but something is off. On All-Star once i get the puck i can charge up to the net without and resistance from the CPU defense.

Played on Hardcore, Sim

Here is my take on the game:
-They changed faceoffs a bit, different angle from the dots, though I still win 90% against the AI
- AI boxes out the top of the circles, to limit exploit goal. Though I still scored some, it was tougher if the forwards are back. If you go against two dmen, they still back in and its money.
- Goalies don't drop as much when you are at the top of the circles, this is good
- Still no instigator for fighting, still have to fight after big hits
- poke checking has changed, the animation looks better
- hits are over the top
- AI in your end are still clueless and stand around
- jerseys wave way too much
- commentary was ok
- arenas look good, still a tad too dark
- presentation very nice
- puck physics seem good
- wrist shot has changed a bit, better animation?
- skill stick seems odd
- the AI can score at will, especially from far out
- money goals are from the slot, almost everything goes in
- Your defence temmates still turn the wrong way
- poke check useless when someone dekes
- use the protect puck and you can easily walk past the AI all game
- cross crease passes, easy, the dmen do nothing to stop it
- you can do quicker passes
- still no loose pucks, pucks magically go to a stick
- the goalies are horrible, these are two of the best in the league.
- saw a few goals where the dman took out his own goalie
- i saw the AI setup behind their own net, wow!
- the deking looks terrible
- every AI player plays the same
- puck seems to die after it goes in the net, the physics should continue
- AI has all kinds of issues turning
-too many AI players trying to deke
- you can still waltz into the zone with no pressure, no pressure in the neutral zone.
- too many perfect passes, hope sliders fix that
- shot speeds too high, more slider fixes

Game feels like NHL14 with some paint. Players look kinda odd. Gameplay has no hockey flow to it.

Fresh paint.. Same game!

I feel like I have less control if that even makes any sense.

Doc and Edzo, meh..

I scored 25 straight breakaways. Then I stopped.

I scored 25 straight wrist shots. Then I stopped.

I played a few games as both teams. AI did feel a bit better hockey wise. Especially when I was player locked on the center. They moved the puck decent.

Still way too easy to gain the zone. Sliders won't fix that.

All of the above was played on all star hardcore..

As a die hard hockey fan and gamer I'm just really frustrated with this series. I understand they don't have the man power on the Dev team other games have, but man.

Not much more I can say, that I haven't said since NHL 07.

That is all..
