Played for the first time last night and was very impressed. It really is like learning a whole new game with the changes to the skating and momentum.
The one thing I really liked, and found to be a huge step in terms of realism, was the need for proper defensive gap control. If you lay off a guy too much coming into your zone, or step up too hard, you'll get beat and give away a scoring chance.
I knew I'd end up buying this game but wasn't as excited as I'd been in the past, that's certainly not the case anymore.
