I don't feel like I could provide a review as all I've been doing is the HUT online. I'm veey impressed with how it's working.
To answer the question above, HUT is the mode where you are given packs of cards consisting of players, jerseys, training, contracts, coaches and stadiums to make up your team. After each game you earn pucks that you can put towards new packs. The more pucks you save up, the stronger the card pack and more likely you'll get top tier players and huge contract extensions.
The online this year seems very smooth. Usually i have a hard time making little moves because of a slight lag, but I'm not noticing that this year.
The only offline I've played was in the demo and admittedly i didn't notice the AI issues that Yamer did. Every year head games come out there are people that are upset with the AI and I'm just not one to usually notice. There are exceptions (such as 04's constant issue of the dmen doing a quick deke out of the zone when near the blue line causing an offside), but for the most part i look past many things.
Edit: if having a dream team (or even a normal team) is your cup of tea, HUT surely won't be your thing. The way the contracts and cap work most teams will stay relatively mediocre.
