The reason we get crap every year, the reason this thread is full of bickering and complaining, is because EA thinks they have to add stupid meaningless crap in order to get people to keep buying the game. Just forget about the bells and whistles and make the game you have better.
Anyway very little about those new features sounds exciting, but at least Doc should provide ample variety...
Honestly if all they did was spend a year tightening the general gameplay and usability (this includes menus), and added zero new features, that would probably produce the greatest NHL game ever made.

This is the issue though, what matters to you doesn't matter to everybody else. There's something about this game that creates rabid annoyance across the board for
very different reasons. Strombad feels that the menus are absolutely no problem, while personally I find the menu structure to be one of the most obnoxious things in the entire series. You want an intense overhaul of the gameplay, while I quite enjoy the gameplay.
I love the little things. I recall in previous years when a player scored a milestone goal there'd be an animation of him standing at the bench looking up at the jumbotron. You find that absolutely meaningless, while I really miss stuff like that. It's those details that let me get a little lost in the game. I'd go through my player stats and look at who was approaching what milestone and it really added to the experience for me.
