I think as far as online "vs." play goes, this is probably the best the NHL series has ever been. Since the patch it is a lot harder to score goals in any kind of cheap way...save for just cutting across the front of the net...but I mean, if you're going to let someone in front of your net alone, you deserve to be scored on.
The one gripe I still have with especially online play is line changes. It takes much longer than it should, as it seems to take a second or so for the "line changer" to even notice that you've hit a button. Secondly, often times when you bring up your lines after a penalty kill or powerplay, it shows the incorrect amount of energy for all lines, and only corrects it once you've switched off the line that is on the ice.
Now, it's not that this is a big deal, but it just seems like something that shouldn't be so complicated.
Even with that, I think the online game is pretty close to perfect as it stands. Not many areas to improve upon, which is very good news.
