    I feel like it’s way to easy to straight line defenders. Moving w/ the puck feels so much more faster/smoother compared to moving without the puck. Also horizontal movement feels very clunky and slow. Very North and South game by the looks of it.

    Letteral movement is too slow, Speed is good, Passing needs much higher accuracy, shooting is good, goalies could be faster, deke success rates still need to be increased

    Overall it’s terrible. You can’t play any defense. The puck sticks to the puck carrier like glue. Skating and puck pickups are atrocious. They should be embarrassed that this is even a beta. Complete shitshow. Makes me not wanna buy it. But I’m stupid and will hope they fix things (rolls eyes).

    The score board is ok but does not need to flash. Defensive recovery is a little too slow. Animations are much better for skaters though. Goalie still looks really rough. I like it ok, just some stuff that everyone has to get used to. Don’t say it’s complete trash boys, you know that isn’t true

    Scoreboard is fucked, passing needs to be sped up or interception radius needs to be tuned down. Lots of guys who are open by 19 standards but the pass is so much slower that the D man just reaches and grabs it like it's a loose puck.

    Game is 100000x better then 19. Puck pickups are better, slap shot animations are sick. Definitely gonna take time to get used to but the hard core players are gonna love it

    Goalie is pretty bad. Penalty shots are broken. Scoreboard terrible. Even in butterfly 5 hole seems worse.

    Notice a pattern of weakers tier players complaining about the product above?

    This is a game and league that wants to move forward in skill gap.

    Lets NOT cater to them again

    -------> Opinions from competitive people to push it in the right direction.


    -The New transitions ( picking up loose pucks, receiving passes in stride) are GREAT. Allows you to keep a step on defenseman when you beat them aswell as turn on a dime into crossovers to evade.
    - The shooting IMO is the best feature. You never wiff of shots and your skater makes the appropriate shot due to the angle and distance from the net, you can approach scoring in different ways now.
    - Lower bumps and incidental contact!!!*** please dont change this
    -The new replays and over presentation of the game is cool and refreshing.
    -Loose puck dekes finally work again, utilize them.
    - No faceoff king in EASHL is also awesome, good work.
    -Overall speed of straight lining is increased to combat lowering LT
    - The attributes overall are higher in important statistics for EASHL player classes.
    - The LT is still useful, you just can't spam it while straight lining to speed boost

    Not trying to speak to soon but i'd be just fine with this as a product come release date. Seems like EA finally listened to alot of the community
    This is currently the best looking and playing NHL game they have released on next gen, i'm usually very critical on them, but i'm very excited if the gameplay stays like this.


    I think TONS of competitive players enjoy this.

    Cheers.

    For me the biggest issue is the scoreboard, really distracting especially in net, i had to turn it off.

    Why do they keep changing shit that doesn't need to be changed? stop trying to improve what is not broken and fix what is, poke check, pass pick up Etc. Every year they try to improve the players, yet nothing on Goaltending, aside making it slower, weaker on the glove side, trap in animation, lateral movement is terrible, poked check is still on the right analog stick which increases the odds of poke checking or paddle down instead of moving left to right. Again this year IA G can make moves that human G can't, like throwing itself sideways. EA should wake up, watch some hockey games on TV and go from there. They did improve on low shots saves redirecting it better. The big thing is G movement, unrealistic compare to the player. Again we are going to look stupid in net.
