A better system of contact between the stick and the opponent's body results in a more accurate assessment of illegal interventions, for example when the puck is poked out. You'll also experience more realistic movement along the fence without the stick going through textures.

Players are assigned one ability for the zone that dominates their game, which allows them to outperform their opponents. Zone capabilities are always on and are automatically activated under the appropriate conditions. For example, the zone ability that improves the long pass is activated when attempting a long pass (but has no effect on a short pass). Specific zone abilities are only available to a limited number of players and in some cases are even exclusive. This means that certain players have unique abilities in the game.
