It doesn't matter. The same bugs are there (weak backhanders from the blueline getting past unscreened "NHL" goaltenders, suction effect of boardplay, suction effect of net battles, etc.), the same "techniques" will bring success, and playing anything remotely resembling real hockey will result in disappointment.
On top of that, they've added one-touch dekes at the expense of cancelling passes, modified the puck chop in a way that makes it awkward to use, and introduced the "enforcer" engine that, even tuned down, will still get you taken off the ice for 5+ minutes without your consent.
