passing is with right analog stick, goalies play a more realistic style because of that harder to score on one timers (Yah!) easier to score on almost another shot, defensive really on forwards to score more, powerplay has real strategies (you can nowdo 5 passes then score, its playmaking), dynasty mode is bascilly same as 360's version ( cap etc.), graphics not changed much but stands are same as nhl 05, updated rosters, malkin is not in an nhl league, and stop complaining about goalies pads u can change them in edit a player i dont know about this version though
