TBH I still think the AI is weak, I played 3 games and got 21 goals, pretty much the main reason I only play EASHL.

I used 13" skates as well. Agility wasn't what I had, I liked speed. The AI isn't good at all. I'm playing All-Star every game and I'm still winning every game, easily. I'll probably play on Superstar in Be a GM.
TBH I don't like EASHL because I play goalie, and hell that delay stuff really gets me. The main reason I don't like it is because I play on a team that is actually quite possibly the worst on Xbox. The only reason we win any games is when I play offense, and that's rare (3 man team, 2 are my friends and wow, they suck).
I think I'll try it out with CP though, I'm assuming we've got much better talent than what I played with. I was a superstar 3 goalie and that's playing on a team that couldn't score a goal, like the Flames, so I hope that I get on a good team for EASHL in 13.
I'm very, VERY, excited for HUT. It seems like they've made the packs include much better players, I've always either had Stamkos or Malkin in my pack besides once. and that's a starter pack. Since I pre-ordered from EB, I'm getting a gold pack once every week for 16 weeks, and that's awesome. Plus, I'm getting the stanley cup edition, so my team will start with a jumbo gold and Gretzky, so I'm good to go.
GM Connected is obviously what I'm most excited for, it's like Fantasy hockey but so much better.
NHL Moments Live is going to be awesome. Especially because they're gonna add more as the game goes on, can't wait to have actual objectives in an NHL game.
Be a Pro sounds pretty cool to me, but I feel like it'll be my least played gametype.
Overall, my basic analysis is:
Pros:
- The presentation is much better, and it feels like it matches up with games like Fifa and Madden in terms of graphics.
- The new skating engine and new lighting engine makes the game feel ultra realistic
- I really love the dynamic skate spray, and how the ice only wears on the parts that are used, for example I usually skate down the wings to start a play so the middle is all shiny most of the time.
Cons:
- Overalls are totally nullified, I mean Iggy has an 87 on HUT and Stamkos has an 89, that's just insane.
- ... Thats it for me.
