LET'S GO PENS!!!
In the beginning, I was getting far to many AI breakaways, until I learned (with the help of a few of my fellow GAMESPOT profilers) how to play a more realistic brand of hockey. This game is meant to be played with a genuine NHL style.
With the use of the new SKILL STICK, the "Dodge" Shootout play is down right awesome. The SKILL STICK can be used in conjunction with other options such as VISION CONTROL for "sick" player moves and skating ability while performing unforgettable shots on net! I recommend this game simply on those reasons alone.
When deciding on which hockey game to buy, remember these two words: SKILL STICK!!
Great job EA!
