Not really digging this beta.
It seems that defensemen are being easily exploited. The pokecheck is under-powered and slows you down drastically after using it once, allowing forwards to walk around you. If you do manage to get the puck from an opposing player, there is a slight delay before you are able to do anything with it, so it's bumped off your stick almost instantly. The passing (especially D to D on the point) is extremely sloppy, no matter what build you use. You can't charge down passes like the PS3 games. You can't tie up in front of the net. The builds seem very similar to me, with the biggest differences being the height/weight of the character.
Anyways, I really hope some of these issues will be resolved before the game is released.
