I play a bunch of OTP games yesterday, random drop ins and club games and I noticed a large amounts of bugs that should have been fixed since most of them are simple yet would negatively impact the user experience. They finally got rid of online passes so that's a good thing for resell value

OTP finally fixed the 2 dressing room drop in shenanigans but finally putting positions in the first room which is good, bad part of that is since its new, no one knows that you can just ready up your team once you get everyone even though there are people still in the middle (ie. guys who won't play goalie and waiting to see if a spot opens).

EASHL looks to finally have copied FIFA in how they structure their league, using seasons and divisions with relegation and promotion through games won or lost. It's a good step towards giving something new to something that they haven't really touched in forever.

They got rid of the +1 boosts now (like anyone used them after unlocking the bigger ones) and went with +3,+5,+7 so instead of having a limit of +9 to an attribute, its now +15.

Wraparounds are a problem at the moment but the next tuner should fix that (hopefully) so watch out for cheesers spamming wraparounds and show them a Bertuzzi on Jackman behind the net.

Hitting and Fighting are the 2 big additions to this year's game. Both are better than the previous year overall but it takes some time to get used to them, I personally like them but big hits does trigger fights a lot or at least with the drop in people I played with

Seems like you accumulate EA pucks now in almost all game modes and can redeem them for use on HUT

Haven't tried GM Connected but they better fix the lag when going through just the front end stuff (gameplay was never laggy but in certain leagues you barely get gameplay and all front end only) Servers better not be farther away from North America like they did several years ago and dumped their servers somewhere in Central Europe cause it was cheaper

Overall, I'd say its a buy for people who are pretty hardcore about the NHL game (my definition of hardcore is someone who plays it a LOT, like getting their legend 3 in OTP within a week or 2, spending tons of money on HUT and so and so) anything less and you can probably get away with playing NHL13

Worst bugs I've seen so far is having a goal waved off, then called a good goal and no goal was awarded, all the stats said it was a goal, even end of game replay had it filed under goals ... stupid refs :P
