They have to some kinks to work out in authenticity...Marc Savard in the corner?
Looks good though...the crowd dynamics/clothing/faces IMO are the biggest/easiest update to make it more authentic (too late to have the GM Place rubbish toss?), as is the after whistle royal rumble, in addition to the usual little tweaks.
That and computer defensive AI to recognize/stop the online goal line cross crease (goalie using a poke check or not sitting on the goal line the whole time?) pass and/or jam job.
Nothing better then beating a team who's entire offense ability is carrying the puck along the boards until the bottom of the circle and then a hard cut to the short side post, looking to get a bounce of a defenseman, or to the guy streaking in on the far post, or trying to confuse the goalie and jam it between the legs in the modern day "up down up down b a b a select start" cheat.
