Some things I noticed in the demo:
-board play was kind of interesting, I was able to engage defensemen better on the forecheck and teammates are smart enough to get open on the boards for you to kick it to them
-puck physics are improved, it definitely doesn't seem like the puck is magnetized to the players (for example you see guys stretch out to take passes)
-after the whistle scrums are pretty cool, although I'd be concerned that people would drive me crazy in online games (I took a shot with Hudler after the whistle and Orpik chased me down, which was awesome)
-the first person fighting is better than last years fighting, it's not great or anything though
-Kronwall batted a rebound out of the air and out of the zone, players moved to catch pucks that were floating by, goalies look better than ever.
I will be reserving a copy soon. I'm really looking forward to the full game.
