Well, as near as I can tell, some of the stats of old are actually present with the skaters, such as agility, speed, awareness and all, but this time the shots are divided into 2 easy to see categories which are wrist shot power/accuracy and slap shot power/accuracy instead of just being one whole stat for each attribute. Fighting is also back as well and there are a few new ones which I should look into.
As for goalies, everything is nearly the same, except now they got Poise as an attribute and now it's Glove high/low and Stick high/low, as well as Flexibility, Aggressiveness and Poke Check.
