End to ends happen once every 3-4 games. Expecting them to happen 3-4 times a period is rediculous. Goalies need better consistency, I like that the simple one timer is much harder now and that games are not 9-7.

Exactly. Generally I find when people complain about either the poke check or the skating, it's because they aren't adapting their play. They don't deke the puck away from the defender, they pass into extremely busy lanes, or they skate at 100% speed at all times and get burned constantly and can't recover.
The trailer looks pretty much as expected. With still 5 months to go it's probably a pretty rough product at the moment. The changes announced so far are not interesting to me, but then again they never announce everything right off the bat.
The physics are the most interesting thing to me. Anybody have any FIFA experience that can speak on the engine they're using?
