Can you elaborate here?

Also, what about loose pucks, are you guys seeing more of them? I'm especially interested in this if you make some slider tweaks.

There is not enough neutral zone pressure, you skate in the zone all the time. I never feel like I have to dump the puck in. Even the Ai on my team gives up the blue line easily. Maybe it will be different once I play around with the sliders.

Played the trial (bought the full game already) on the Xbox One and found some negatives. Probably not a big deal though:

1) faceoffs suck as usual (to me anyways). Hate using the right stick to do face-offs as I usual lose. What happened to using the x or b butting to do face-offs, much easier.

2) The computer players is faster. Had a hard time setting up plays in their zone to do anything. Only way I could score is go into their zone and shoot immediately.

3) computers will do the around the net cheap goals at times. Hemsky did that to me (I was edmonton).

For the positive things I found:

1) commentary is 1000 times better than last year. Ray Ferraro adds a realistic touch to it.

2) Arena's look great...Can't wait to see Edmonton's new arena in a couple of years.

3) Deke stick or whatever it is works this year. Awesome to see Taylor Hall deke the Stars defence to get a breakaway goal.

4) Can't run into the goalie and expect not to get a penalty. You do that, your going into the sin bin.

5) Fights are much more enjoyable. They are not first person though. I just use the right stick to punch. Imagine blocking will be a button, haven't figured out yet.

6) in conjunction to point 4, you can't go on a breakaway, get close to the goalie and expect to deke around him to score. You get close enough, you will stumble or ram into the goalie. Love this.

Overall, i'm happy. Haven't touch GM Mode yet, might later. Once I get some of the settings down (if I ever do), it should be a much more enjoyable hockey game to play from last year.

i bought 1 month of EA access for $5.

it saved me $6 on digital madden purchase.

plus i get access to 6 hours each of pre-release play on madden/nhl/fifa.

so, EA paid me $1 for this.

i'm happy.

Might be a dumb question, but if I bought EA Access for the early 6 hours, but wanted to buy the physical hard copy of the game next Tuesday, would everything still transfer over? Or do I have to buy the digital version?

Assuming it works as Season Ticket did, you should be fine to transfer saves with the physical version on the same platform.
