This is definitely an improvement, and I'll gladly buy it.
The puck physics are done well and hitting feels right. The AI is a LOT less passive this time around, and will take the puck into the zone. I have noticed my teammates actually back away from defenders in the slot and get ready to take a one timer. Stamkos dropped to his knees so he could tee one up.
You also can't fly by AI defenders with a push the puck ahead speed boost move anymore, they match your pace pretty well. They also clog up shooting and passing lanes fairly well
They've tossed in a couple neat presentation items - my player lost a stick, and when he went to grab one, a team mate was holding it out for him to grab as he skated by.
It's really fun to beat up Luongo as well, aha.
