Just getting used to all of them should keep the mode fresh. We got our first taste of EASHL action in the closed technical test a few months back and while the core experience is the same, the amount of customization options for an individual player is astounding. Instead, Vasilevskiy is probably the one looking up to me. I spent a lot of time trying to imitate Andrei Vasilevskiy on my team, the Oakville Pickles. My favorite mode is the World of Chel, specifically EASHL. But maybe it could be a bit less effective unless you build up the momentum to get the full poke.

Good players will need to adapt instead of forcing tripping calls, and I like it. In a game against THN's social media mogul Jared Ostroff, a much more superior player than myself, I was able to limit his high-danger scoring chances by abusing the poke check. You can go for poke checks without the constant threat of taking a soft tripping penalty. It makes a good hit more satisfying, and players can hold their balance a bit more as a result.īut the poke-checking. Hitting is similar in the way that you really need to line up your target instead of relying on auto-targeting. You truly need to know who you want to pass to, and after a bit of getting used to, good players can use it to their advantage. No longer can you just pass anywhere and get it on your target. When passing the puck, there's a bit of a skill gap. Three things that were heavily refined in the game are passing, hitting and, thankfully, poke checks.
