seems, to me, liket he defense will have to be controlled mainly by the AI (in VS) , and that there's gonna be a lot of breakaways given up by opposing players cuz of that new sprint feature.  if you take control of the D and dont start moving back in time, the F's can blow you away, but the AI  as D should take care of that with ease.

 

there's two sprint features.  hold the L stick in the direction to gain speed, and then click that stick once to sprint even faster.

 

for a breakaway, to give up some fatigue?  it'll happen a lot.    then, you gotta glide to get control, as the breakaway man, to be able to shoot, which opens up Dmen to backcheck adequately.

 

the thing is, the D arsenal will clearly have to be stepped up, thats why the poke check and checking is beefed up.

 

improved dump and chase as well.  gonna be a good series.
