- 2D will have teams stay in formation longer (e.g. on the power play) and less tape to tape passes. Some passes to an area for a player to skate to.
- AHL playable to its inception; all players in the database now
- Mid year report on who is leading in race for awards up to that point
- Hopeful of a release next FRI (25 OCT)...still going through Steam approval and then they need it posted for period of time to get wishlist numbers up (that is a Steam requirement). They are working through different points of contact to see if they can speed up the process.
Might be more but that is what I recall.
I am on east coast so didn't see it live. Would have liked to have asked about quality of life things for the NHL game. The waiver rules not being accurate has irked me for years and that was further exacerbated with what we saw with Lavoie this season. We can't have that happen in FHM because if you claimed a player they were given a "no movement" tag and you were stuck with them all year. That is the exact reason the Lavoie thing happened the way it did. If a player had to stay on a roster for any period of time, it could cause a cap issue or, worse, force a team to waive a player they don't want to to be cap compliant. Makes it harder to take a flyer on a player and discover a diamond in the rough.

Well that's underwhelming.
