The same glitch goals are scoring for me, lame.
If I hadn't heard claim that they had worked extensively on the AI, I would have assumed they did nothing at all. Yes I went in and made custom AI for my team, but they still play the exact same way regardless. Too many times players do not react to the play or a puck will sit 3 feet away from a CPU player and they will just stare at the puck until the other team Skates over at full speed and picks it up.
This game boils down to a very mediocre graphics enhancement and some new modes.
Weak.
EDIT: And OMG, one huge huge bug in Be a GM was never fixed, they actually broke it worse. Attempting to make roster moves between the NHL and AHL is impossible. You move a player down or up, you cant access that team to put them in the right roster spot, you will only be able to access either the AHL OR the NHL team. So then you have to tell the Ass. GM to make the best line up ruining anything you made before.
This happens after any trades or injuries. Incredibly fustrating.

The only real major difference I have found so far is that stick checking is much more usable than in previous editions. I agree with the checking and skating. The skating works well on some players, but most are just chunky.
