  • manual pass off by default. the game was way funner today for me with it off.
  • stick lifting is too ridiculous. i feel like im playing against paul bunyan on the ice... there needs to be some 4 min double minors with cut open faces called to discourage players from going around hacking away. oh and the stick lift from behind=stupid.
otherwise its pretty much nhl 10. not enough was done to improve the game frankly
While I disagree with your first two points, I agree with your third. Stick Lifting has been broken since it was implemented, it's way too effective to get the puck.

I love having garbage goals go in, there should be more garbage goals and straight shots from the slot that go in.

Something that really really needs to be revamped; the penalty shot/shootout. It feels slow and clunky, and completely unnatural. You should be able to walk and pick a corner and have it go in, just like in real life. You're lucky if a shot like that goes in 5% in EA games.
