read a few "love the game" and gotta say I'm surprised...
REALLY dislike it, everyone is a "master dangler" now, even with guys like Geoffrion or White... every player can beat a D one on one with the new speed adjustments... it's just too much.

Not true, I actually find it easier to D. Especially love how you can catch the entire opposition flat footed and go end to end. Granted I can't chase forwards around with big hits as much anymore.

If you're playing vs someone or vs a club and they are getting beat then that's their problem. I barely get beat in 1 on 1 situations (in club I'm a D and same for versus/HUT)..95% of the time I get beat, is when I'm out of position.
Maybe it's because I'm on my superstar card and can skate with anyone or actually outskate alot of people but yeah, that's just me though.
Going into an EASHL game with LL as D = ZOMG Bobby Orr!
Finishing an EASHL game with LL as D = FUUUU MAB!
What can I say, I'm versatile.
Seriously though, with 8 sec to go I just wanted to pass it up and not play keep away in fear they'd score. So I make a pass up, it's icing. They score on the icing after pokechecking puck away after I get it on faceoff win.

How many people in here actually play EASHL? It seems most are in GMC leagues. I'm still looking for a team, I play any FWD position, I know what I'm doing, above PPG, etc.
Good games last night Xbox team. Our chemistry in the offensive zone is fantastic. I think I might switch my build to power forward. With Ichi scoring endless goals and overlords setting up the passes, I am always going straight for the net. But my guy is tiny and gets thrown around like a midget, so perhaps some size would help.
GM connected menu is stupid SLOW! if that does not improve it will be rediculously boring to the point it is almost not worth playing! i hope they fix this!

When I first tweeted EA, they said they were fixing it.

@EASPORTSNHL Love the new game, but the GM connected menus are deathly slow, are you guys planning on improving the menu speed?
12 Sep EA SPORTS NHL @EASPORTSNHL
@dr_habs The team is investigating the situation and we will update them as soon as we can.
Marc @Dr_Habs
@EASPORTSNHL Good to know someone's looking into it. Thanks for the quick response. I'm sure you guys are getting lots of tweets.
And then I tweeted them yesterday, since the menus hadn't improved at all, despite them "investigating the situation"
Turns out, they changed their tune:
Marc @Dr_Habs
@EASPORTSNHL It's a great new feature, but the menu speed is almost unbearable. Thinking of fixing it any time soon? #waytooslow
22h EA SPORTS NHLVerified @EASPORTSNHL @dr_habs This happens because information is gathered from a server every time you enter a screen so you get the latest info in the league.

22h Marc @Dr_Habs
@EASPORTSNHL I get that, but it's incredibly slow. Browsing 1 menu doesn't necessitate a 2 minute wait to reload information, does it? #slow
They didn't answer my last tweet. So yeah, I think we're crap out of luck.

If theres room can I get a tryout? PWF and I play any forward position.
'It's okay guyz, we're just slow because information is gathered from a server.'
~EASPORTSNHL
yeah exactly what i expected. thre is a lot of information to keep up to date for 30 teams etc etc.
im no expert, but imo they should update the information in time incriments instead of making it download at every menu. for ex every 2 hrs the league data gets updated. or maybe every 6 or 12 hrs.
if they dont speed this up i am not to interested in wasting my time waiting in menus, not so fun...
