    Through the legs deke works maybe 1/15 times. The other 14 times your player pushes it 15 feet ahead, regardless of player build. I mean, a guy with dangler in his name should be able to deke.

    On a delayed penalty my G went to the bench, but when play resumed it continued as if we pulled the G and he didn't return to the net.

    Need more pauses for club. One is stupid. Either take your time-out in that one pause or it's useless?

    Puck pick up animations need to either be consistent, or tuned the hell down/disabled. Half the time you get the animation, the other half of the time you're fine. My player shouldn't cut hard right/left and slow all the way down because I started skating right JUST as I touched the puck to avoid a hit, and they definitely shouldn't just stop and take it. There's almost no reason to have them.

    Don't skate 20 MPH and expect to pull it off. The deke was broken in 16 and now it's right where it needs to be, works well when you aren't strait lining.

    I have some video of it however the frequency of you missing the interception is around 10% (I'll post the video when i have more than two clips.). I've played six games and have only had two instances where a pass when right through me. The game plays extremely well compared to the 16 version.

    PASSING IS FIXED!!! You can actually pass now, cycle and have an enjoyable time playing with each other.

    Hitting is also much improved, you're able to knock bigger players off of the puck, you're even able to pull pucks out of the "dead bodies". The game plays much quicker, smoother and the servers seem to be better on the beta than they are on 16. You've got the lag for the 1st 10 seconds and its smooth after that.

    How will LG work with us using our teams jerseys and logos if there's no way to set up a lobby to invite 12 and club only has NHL logos to unlock?

    @MCDONALD l19l Also every time I restart the game, my goalie controls go back to default when they were set to alternate before.

    Will clubs and Hut teams be re-set? Or will it carry over from the beta?

    Is this the bug you are talking about? I am reporting it to EA right now.

    Yes that is the bug, you were unlucky and got scored on which is unfortunate, my team took an offsides, but that is something that needs to be addressed, can't have that happening in league.

    @MCDONALD l19l i think they need to slightly adjust the speed of the goalie while he is standing up. They are a tad bit slow but other then that I think it's good.

    Games good Brodie, tell them not to ruin it with a bunch of tuners.

    Passing is excellent especially the ability to one touch. skating is also much improved

    They aren't. I've had no problem playing on high and using the new fixed camera. A lot of other top goalies have been fine as well.

    I'm not sure what else you'd want from a camera?

    It's the beta, remember that, not the full game. The new camera is going to be tweaked to follow the puck better in thencorners

    If you take off precision you'll be sniped like crazy even while in position and even then when you go to move it'll throw you out of position. They should have never taken out goalie anticipation to begin with. Goalie is hard enough to play with all Rammers bullshit.
