AI has vastly improved, however the most noticeable facet is the goalies. They are actually incredibly hard to score on. 
 

Also, they made it so that if you try that bullshit coast in your own zone, after about 15-20 seconds, the player you’re controlling is slowed to the point where it barely skates or distributes the puck making it easier for the opposing team to stick it from you. No more of that coasting for time crap when you’re up a goal. 

Thanks man. I will probably get it but I’m going to wait till it goes on sale this time! 

Haven’t bought a sports game since NBA 2k19. Haven’t bought NHL since NHL12. Sports games are fun but only worth it every few years, too redundant and games modes have reached its peak.
