See, I feel like the opposite here. They've added a ton of new stuff;
-Realtime physics; you skate into someone, and it actually causes a player to player interaction. This allows hits to take out multiple people, causes you to actually bump off the net instead of gliding around it, Sedins can no longer lay out Chara, etc.
-Brand new sim engine, and ability to jump into a game anytime (not just 1/2/3/5 min to go). The action tracker looks great!
-Be a GM tweaks to trading, rookie salary and growth
-Anticipation AI, meaning players will actually anticipate play and not stand around in the offensive zone.
I'll have to see it, but should these all actually work as intended, this is a huge upgrade from NHL 11. Especially the sim engine.
