It didn't look like real dekes while in this game, they do. You should be restricted based on player and the position you're in to make said deke

Does anyone remember this video?

At the 20s mark it shows a stationary player deking around his feet and in front of him.
So you're saying this kind of control is gone?

Now, I'm not complaining. Not at all. I've actually been thinking that the skill stick took a bit away from the game to a degree. It turned it into a more 1-on-1 contest than an actual hockey game.
I'm very interested in seeing this new system. Sounds like it's a big improvement.

Thanks for the impressions!

Has anyone noticed there are more on the fly strategies? theres a few more things you can adjust in the neutral zone which should help in online vs play.

PS4 demo is up on the store?

[ManiacMatt1782]

The good. Hardcore plays amazingly well. The game is sloppy like hockey should be.

The Bad. Online ranked surely won't be on hardcore, and I can't make a GM connected league to play that way friends. So I will either have to play the computer the way the game is meant to be played, or have the arcadey "Simulation" settings for any online games.

I cancelled my preorder due to the of omissions but I wanted to test the game out anyway.

To me it's the same NHL I remember but is it just me or do the visuals have a grainy filter going on? It's not a really sharp crisp looking game.

It's not my TV or settings as madden is crisp as something really crisp.

Playing on PS4

As far as I can tell, it is not... which makes it all the more impressive how so many people are saying how bad the game is (playing on the PS4).

If you create an Australian or Euro PSN account the demo is up on those stores. That's how I got it.
