Thanks to the improved skating and puck physics, offense has never been better.
This is the best the game has been balanced in years, and absolutely trounces '18 in my opinion.

I absolutely agree, stick lift is a way more viable option especially whenever you're in close or along the boards. I play a lot of RD in EASHL and I still use poke check effectively without tripping but you just can't ever press that dam R1 button while you're behind or even beside the puck carrier, once you learn to press X instead you'll be golden.
I actually liked the skating & turning a lot more before the recent tuner patch, the game now feels much more like NHL 18 then it did in the NHL 19 beta but I knew EA was going to eventually do this. I still enjoy the gameplay but maybe by some miracle the powers that be will change it back or I'll just keep dreaming.
