Well, this sounds promising actually! As long as it was actually called...

Try intentionally checking a player without the puck and see if you get called for interference... If it does, its fixed and this would be a big plus for me.

Thanks for the info jyoung! I'm stupid and rich enough to buy this to get new jerseys, commentary and bouncy-puck fix. And hooray for hybrid!

Honestly the CPU offense feels even worse than it did last year. They don't seem to do much of anything. All they do is skate sideways and pass laterally in the neutral zone until they decide to dump it in and turn it over.

The PS4 AI is much more lethal on offense.

Also, are the breakouts still too easy with the CPU D leaving the LW wide open all the time?

You can literally do whatever you want when you have the puck: skate anywhere, pass anywhere, shoot anywhere. The CPU just stands there and won't attack you. This is a long-time problem with the series that hasn't been fixed.

Thanks for your impressions and updates. You literally saved me $60. I'm done with this series. I still have my son's copy of NHL 14, so I'll see if any roster updates will be provided and just play the "play now" games to go along with the season for my hockey fix. This is truly disappointing... Just a real bummer to read, but I appreciate your honesty and candor, jyoung!

Goalie interference seems to be called correctly now. I've seen two collisions with the goalie result in minor penalties. One of them even wiped away a goal that was scored from the interference.

Slashes still don't get called much though. They still have that animation where you shake your hand after getting hit, and a lot of times there will be no penalty, even when the animation triggers.

The loading and processing times are still extremely long in Be A GM and GM Connected.

Olympic jerseys are still the same generic ones from last year.

I have to beg everyone here to not spend $60 for a roster update and better puck physics. Please. This game wouldn't be worth it at half the price, honestly.
