I love the fact that we are able to save presets for all 5 positions now!!! That has been one of my big requests since 09! Everything else sounds, good, but doesn't blow me away.

Different builds for different positions is an awesome addition.

EASHL continues to be the future of sports gaming.

I like everything I read about EASHL with the exception of the cool down period for club hoppers. It's not a big deal if they give us multiple dressing room, but the reason club hopping was so big this year was because people like to play 6 on 6. A lot of the top teams were pretty friendly and if they were a man short and saw a guy not in a game they would ask him to play. I really don't see why this is that big of a problem and I feel like this decision is just going to make it tough to get 6 on 6 games.

As someone who played HUT and EASHL pretty competitively I find the community to be far less cheesy in the EASHL as opposed to HUT. Just my experience but I played idiots who go up 1-0 in HUT and try to rag the puck on you.

Whew say bye bye to human goalies. I barely have enough time to play 100 games in the EASHL let alone play 150 per skater and goalie.

Also I wish they'd get rid of the letter grades.. maybe mirror the offline BAP and have you reach certain goals when playing each position for the cards.
