[Goodintentions]

just played 2 games of the beta. in hut mode.


so far the mechanics are an improvement.
passing is more accurate and easier to be accurate
dmen straddle the blue line on back passes nicely to stat onsides
theres a stat for each player like heavy hitter or hard forechecker etc and when enough of those points are on your lines the style is activated.
goalies poke check puck way too much
goalies make nice desperation type saves. sometimes only getting s piece of the puck leaving pucks on doorstep
there are "sets" that look to be where you can dump cards its not yet clear if you can dump dupes into them or just unwanted cards. but those sets then can be traded for a pack (this is likely more expansive on release )
animations are smooth.

so far thats what ive noticed after 2 games in hut mode
