While it frustrated me a bit, I acknowledge it helps to add realism.ĭefensemen seemed to get back better and also pick up their assignments during rushes. I liked that, although I can see some users complaining about the increased stick-to-puck sensitivity.įor me, it put a larger emphasis on stick handling and puck control-somethings I definitely need to work. That said, it felt as though defenders were able to disrupt players with the puck a little easier-even the guys who are more skillful.

Using the dekes and various shot options made me feel as though I was getting the most from the best players. Flying up the ice with a player like Marian Gaborik (the fastest skater I had on my HUT squad) felt exciting.


Players are fun to control and that's the way it should be.
