As I've posted in the How's your BeaGM mode going.. game play is fantastic, definitely agree with you here. Even though the CPU AI has some issues, the game really feels like hockey to me on hardcore with some minor tweaks. Also, RB on xb1 works wonders breaking up those one timer passes from the CPU.

Teams feel different to me too, the Rangers were all over me, but I never felt really threatened like that playing against Calgary.

It sure does.

But Id like more tools to play D with. The stick lift is just a slash that gets penalties. To me, it has zero benefit.

yup.
game needs more D tools.
like someone posted earlier. Right stick should not be a check button. Right stick should be your stick movement. also there should be another way to slow down an attacking player other that bundling them, or poke checking the puck away. You should be able to just sheild them away. force them wide, and the puck come off their stick.

I think the game with hold me over this year, the puck is definitely more loose, but next year we need to have better defensive AI controls, and stick on player collision detection for more loose puck when trying to get around a player.

I'd nearly even swear the same team can play differently from one game to the next, Mizz. Vs the Avs twice to start my season, in game one the AI seemed to using a collapsing style. Whereas game two, seemingly more of a staggered approach. Must say i'm glad i got 15 now, after the early disappointments.

You could be right.. and I know the hit totals for the CPU are not registering right in the stat sheet. They hit me just as much as I hit them, yet it only shows like 7 and I have like 18.

I'm itching to play more tonight.. so that's a good thing.

Ok did my final Tweaks to Al_Titos wonderful sliders so Im set and just waiting for the release of the 3 Stars and Playoff Mode add ons and Im set and once again by far my sports game of the year on gameplay alone

Its really sad to see so many still struggling to find there sliders as there really missing out on a incredible next gen game but maybe try his sliders as a base AND PLEASE dont judge them on a few games as they go full circle , hope this helps

Al titos sliders are excellent I have played about 20 games with them. Tried minor tweaks here and there. It's only the penalties that just do not work. I don't think gameplay is the issue with most. It's the missing modes, which some will get what they want in a patch, some of us won't and the things that have been a problem for years like penalties that still have people angry. You have what you like in the game and will be getting the rest in a patch that's great but many are left feeling ripped off, lied to again, and ignored.
