Everyone complaining hitting is too hard and pokechecking doesn't work hasn't practiced or attempted to learn the controls. People say they stopped playing after 5 minutes, that's their fault not the game's. Michigan's are "easier" but can be defended easily. Every NHL player "can" do that move, they just don't because it's easily defended unless done at the exact right time so making it easier to do doesn't break anything if you just play defense. Give it a fair shake! About time they changed things so you don't have teams racking up 75 hits a game and scoring the exact same goals over and over again. Good job (for the first time in a while)
