Playing demo right now and I must say I'm impressed with the new skating engine
I like how sticks are more active in poke checking and actually trying to intercept passes! Plus I noticed that there's a new chopping on the puck feature when you are chasing the puck down low
If you watch at 8:40, Elias is going full speed then does TWO backwards skating moves.
1) no one would do that in the slot
2) it's waaaaay too fluid and has way too much puck control especially given he was going top speed. It's as if the new skating engine doesn't play to backwards skating.
This is why I always thought that a new skating engine isn't enough, there needs to be a new puck control engine. If anything, I think a new puck control engine is more important because with the puck on a string, it's ridiculous what impossible things people can do online.
Hopefully NHL 14 will fix it!

I'm off work in 15 mins and will be downloading the demo when I get home. From viewing forums, people are impressed with the AI. The versus AI has always been good, I really hope they're the same quality AI for EASHL. My team plays 6's as much as we can but if there's one person missing, it usually a D man, people have said that the D men will clog the lanes for passes and get in your face if you try to skate in and shoot at an angle. A glitch/exploit free game would be great. They just patched up that backwards skating goal that someone found this morning

Johnny Superb had a much easier time scoring in that than he did on me at Community Day haha Shutout!
Passing off the boards is much better in this game now, I also like how the players burst to spaces to get open for passes. It was also nice to be able to exploit a quick release to beat a goalie.

Looks like I'll be stepping out of retirement to rejoin the team! I played the demo and the new system fits my playing style. Cycle cycle cycle! So where is the best place to pre-order the game?
