Yeah, I thought I could still feel it working. Even so, I think that the way players take off when you skate in a straight line is highly unpredictable and should have some way to control it. Let me push a button to engage that sort of animation rather than have it just suddenly happen with no rhyme or reason.
Maybe instead of L3, they could use the quick tap of the Left Trigger - which used to be Push Puck - in order to initiate the high tempo skating. If they want to stick to the "true performance" thing then only allow the user to engage it after skating a certain distance and gaining a certain amount of momentum. I just don't like how it suddenly kicks in.
Another thing I noticed is the hard cuts are also seemingly random. My player can be skating at a slow to moderate speed and still do a long, hard cut instead of the sharper turn he should be doing at that pace.
Maybe it just requires more getting used to, or maybe it's following the pattern of EA implementing a new feature that still requires a lot of fine tuning. Either way, I don't like the new skating the way it currently is.
