In addition, gameplay has been improved all over the ice such as Net Battle system where you can fight for space in front of crease or goaltenders who have true-to-life stances and smarter Reactionary Save Intelligence. Improved hitting, passing, puck pick-ups and skating let players own every zone while dozens of new goal celebrations bring even more excitement.
