There is more passing now than before, IMO. I still find that passes are knocked down and off line at a good enough rate.

I also think the hitting being upped is better and I have not sen little guys pummelling big guys as mentioned. With hardcore, the guys who could figure skate through the whole team were going unpunished and made for very unrealistic play. Some may say that is skill, but every play should not involve one dude carrying the puck end to end, dancing around players and sniping in the top corner. If that is what passes as skill fine, but this at least gives the defense a punchers chance of stopping it.
