No large suprises there. The look and feel of the game is basically the same than NHL 2005 and NHL 2004. It's more stable (I used to have stability issues with the last version) and the most noticable difference is that players position themselves better allowing for some awesome gameplay.

Goalies are also more spectacular in their saves. The "he's cheating, he couldn't have stopped that" of previous version is now replace with a last second glove / blocker sticking out or a quick pad. It's not harder to score on them, it's just that you see way better how the save was made.

No revolution here. It's barely an evolution. But, I'm a big hockey fan and I like it.

  Those familiar with the series won't notice too much new. As a whole, it's still a great game, but flaws still exist.
