Haven't played it too much yet but here are my first thoughts:
- Human goalies' movement has slightly got improved, moving towards the shots and rebound control gave me more realistic feeling.
- Stick blocking is almost impossible, which is a good thing, this will lead in changes in dman builds or even play style.
- Shots have been boosted, which is in my opinion fine but also goalies should get some kind of boost, not sure yet where but perhaps hockey iq (or movement?) which could in my opinion be boosted for skaters as well to see more beautiful goals.
- Servers were trash, which is probably not gonna be a problem when the game gets published, but if it is then I wouldn't be surprised if half of the players quit.
