Been playing the EASHL beta this week, it's nothing special, if anything, it's been stripped yet again by entirely removing the card system. There is now nothing to work for, you just pick from one of 4 different player classes.

It plays okay, it's a small step forward from 15 on the One, but it still needs a lot of work to stand up to the gameplay quality of previous titles.

Slowly but surely, they are getting it together, but I still don't think this year is going to be all that great. Bring back right stick dangling and fix the skating EA.

I was also disappointed to see Larkin wasn't in yet, though I hope he is added in a roster update. It's the first hockey game I got for the Xbox One. Nice graphics, looking forward to playing through a season then doing be a pro.

It still feels like you weigh 400 lbs when you are skating and stopping, I don't know what it is, it feels like there's way too much friction when you should glide.

I've been playing it a bit lately since it's release and I give it a solid 7/10, but my opinion hasn't changed much from the beta. It still needs work, they need to revert back to how stick handling worked in the previous generation of games. I also think there needs to be a separation of EASHL modes, one can be how it is, simplistic, pick a class and play on an even ice surface. They also need to bring back the card system and make it more of a "ranked" mode, where you can work on your progress, put stats where you want, and get rewarded for how much you play in the long term. That would make everyone happy if they appealed to both ends of players.

It's improving, but I still see this gen of NHL a step down from last gen in nearly every capacity except graphics and presentation.
