Here are the gems I pulled out of your article:
Fake shots: love this. Excellent reference to the backhand crosby goal in Montreal ... who doesn't remember that goal?
Bat ins: very welcome addition, should make position in front of the net even more important
On your knees: Pretty cool, I hope it's one of those things that only a few players can do well.
Loose puck one timers: Awesome stuff. Big thumbs up from over here. I have a big problem with shooting at a loose puck and only throwing a check instead. I know there's a modifier, but it still happens.
Fatiguing goalies: I like how you can wear down a goalie during the game. A good excuse to just get pucks on net sometimes.
Player face expressions: I'm so proud I noticed that from the trailer. Nice touch for close up replays. A welcome addition but probably not all that used.
More sliders: This could be absolutely massive. I'm not getting my hopes up until I hear impressions. EA's sliders tend to have a funny way of not doing anything. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here, but I'd
really like to see it work first.
