This to me is the issue with a fast paced game like hockey... once the game gets moving, it just doesn't look all that different past a certain point. You can go back a few years even and zoom into small details in a replay and they actually look pretty stunning. In a real-time game though, you'd never notice them.

The stick physics look cool and hopefully that changes the feel. I don't know... the keys they seem to be focusing on for this years game don't really speak to me. The perks sound pretty arcade-like all around. So instead of just having a high rating for shot release, we have to apply a power-up? And when we do, we get a special replay that looks Xtreme? I'm excited to try the beta and I'm sure I'll buy the game, but I'm not losing much sleep waiting for this one.

And still no cross console play.. so this year the player base is split into 4 groups.

If you just play be a pro and franchise this wont matter much to you.
This is probably my favourite feature. It makes me feel like the PS5 version won't just be an upscaled port of the PS4 version, so maybe there can be more room for next-gen specific improvements. In all likelihood it'll _actually_ mean growing pains, but that's ok.
