I think the skating is very realistic, you can't turn on a dime like you could in previous versions, and not every player is able to basically sprint to the puck high speed. It would be nice to see more of a stride variable in there, some NHL skaters look like they're gliding because they have a long stride, some guys look choppy because they have a short stride. It would be nice to see some of the bad skaters represented that way.

The monster closet, if your carrying the puck and your within 6 a body length of a opposing AI the puck is off of your stick and gone.
The AI still isn't great. When your carrying the puck, your team mates basically freeze and won't sprint to an opening until you release your pass. It would be nice to see players in constant movements.
The hitting system is still broken. There were too many times that my 6-6 220 99 skating 99 strength 99 hitting defense would hit some midget that was 5-11 193 and I would bounce off and go sprawling.
The goaltenders are way to good on the opposition side, and way to flaky on my team.

Try to stick to three for each part if you can please. And thank you.

I'm mainly a be a pro guy.
A few things that I noticed there.
I was looking forward to the demand a trade thing, but well into my second NHL season my number 1 drafted 6-6 250 pound super strong super fast high scoring defensive defense men couldn't be traded. It was like I was in the 7th circle of hell skating for the Oilers waiting for my contract to expire.
There's still no place where I can see my contract information, if I went back to the game I'd have no clue where my players contract was at.
In the stats history you can see the year to year stats, but not the team that you played for, it would be nice to be able to see my three years with the Oilers and my 5 years of dominance with the Flames. It would also be nice to see how many Stanley Cup rings I'd won in a easy way.
One thing that was really weird that I noticed. in my first year of NHL play I played 50 games and simmed 30 games.
In the played games I scored about 12 goals and 30 assists. In the simmed games I scored no goals and 3 assists. In the WHL I would accumulate points in simmed games but not the NHL.
Another weird thing, in my rookie season I decided to get sent down to the WHL, I simmed about 60 games with one of my players and even though I was continually warned and demoted the system refused to send my to the WHL.
