It's not. Watching various videos already proved that.

That makes sense to keep the poke check, and poke chop on the same button.
I wonder however if that's gonna make the regular poke check a bit slower, as the poke animation can't start until you release R1.

But very nice that they give you more control. I think I have mastered the poke chop pretty good on 13, there are still times when I wanna make a regular poke check, but the guy goes into chopping animation.


Someone mentioned they wanted the L1 (drop on one knee) removed, but I think that is a great fast way to block a shot, or just help the goalie see the puck on an incoming shot and not screen him.

Thank you. God I hated that.
