What camera angle you playing on out of interest?

You playing with controller settings of always up?

Passing is ok. But man my brain is still getting used to shooting and dekeing with the side on view.

Alright after playing a couple games over the past week I'll post my impressions.

GOOD:
+ Presentation is amazing, Love the NBC overlay+ Graphics, everything from the ice to the vendor dude in the stands looks amazing. WFC looks exactly like it does IRL(Besides maybe a few minor discrepancies, but I don't have the WFC memorized, haven't been to a Flyers game in a few years )
+ Gameplay is an improvement over last year
+ Fans getting LOUD after a goal or fight win(Finally)
+ Skating feels very good besides the occasional odd happening
+ Dump and Chase works
+ Puck Physics, seen some good bounces/rolling pucks/etc.
+ BAGM has potential once the patch comes through
+ Players progress reasonably
+ Stats look good at the end of the year(100+ scorers, 70+ Dman)
+ Forechecking works

BAD:
- Clipping issues, pucks going through STICKS(Posted a pick in Photos), goalie pads, boards(Had an out of play called due to the puck clipping out of the rink)
- Goalies are still eh...
- WHY DID YOU TAKE OUT THE TIE-UP EA?? Used to make covering a guy near the net a viable option for covering the back door, now there is no way to stop a player from shooting unless you get lucky enough to poke check the puck away or deflect it.
- Poke check, why can't it be like the 2k series where you have more control and can sweep your stick to block lanes.
- No way of covering the slot
- Puck Protect seems overpowered.
- Fans are quiet during faceoffs(like pin-drop quiet) or during the game even when leading or pressuring. Maybe use a momentum kind of system to get the crowd to be more vocal. Where are the team-chants(Let's go Flyers, Rangers, etc.)
- All the lacking features of the modes(we've beaten that like a dead horse)
- Teams still play like each other, no real difference between players. An Italian player should not be sniping top corner lasers with ease, like a Stamkos. Can still dangle like Datsyuk with a Rosehill.....
- Boarding calls on hits to the sides, so infuriating.
- Commentators suck, but this is the 1st year, though I've heard the same "Star player only plays 1/3 of the game blah blah blah" about 60% of the games I've played

Quirky/Bugs:
- In BAGM if you look at the stats for goalies, SV% is incomplete with no way of expanding that column.
- Played a playoff game and during the pre-game when they show a players stats during the playoffs is says SEASON
- The stupid idea of not having the bids refresh w/o having to back out and back in
- HUT lost so many last second deals due to ERRORS or the card just disappearing and a new batch of cards refreshing.
- No bench for HUT, players fatigued/injured need to have cards used on them???
- One of the strategies being the same as Poke check, so if you are changing lines/strategies while trying to defend and you keep hitting RB/R1 the menu stays.

I'm beginning to remember why I don't play online much

Got the game afew days back, and gotta say i'm ejoying the heck outta the gameplay with the few slider adjustments i've made. I believe there's just enough there in GM mode to make it fun for me to play.
