yeah Bwiggy, in the video I‘m seeing a quite a bit more aggressive ai defense. Very happy to see that!

Some people are saying they don't like the superstar skill stick. What is different about it, exactly?

Any diagrams showing what those new strategies or did they just rename old ones? In a video, I saw "Strong Side Slant" under the Breakout strategy.

Thanks!

Restrictive lateral movement resulting in a limited, stiff, unresponsive feeling when trying to deke.

It's not one to one stick movement like in the past, it's just a short left and right deke. Almost like they are missing animations so they didn't make the right stick do anything other than left and right.

If you move the right stick in clockwise motions it does a scripted "canned" move similar to pressing the LB when you are skating.

As a PS4 player, I won't be playing the demo until tomorrow night, but I watched a few videos to see what the game looked like. I have to say, I like what I see so far, with the exception of the fact that there are a couple of little oddities with my Rangers: (1) There are too many generic/inaccurate faces, from what I can see. Mats Zuccarrello and Carl Hagelin are definitely generic, and both aren't even close. Zuccarrello in particular bugs me because he was the team's leading scorer last season. (2) The game denotes Derek Stepan as Captain. The Rangers currently have no Captain, as they have not named one since they traded Ryan Callahan last season. (They used three Alternates for the rest of the season -- Dan Girardi, Marc Staal, and the since-bought-out Brad Richards.) It is widely believed that Ryan McDonagh will be the next Captain. Minor, yes (and certain to be changed if necessary with a roster update), but it just bugs me.
