Not what I expected...

After playing the demo, I was totally pumped for this game to come out. The graphics looked pretty cool, and the controls were pretty solid (even though they were a complete rip off from NHL 2k).

After renting the game once however, I was mega-disappointed. The frame rate is ridiculously slow and laggy...I thought there was something wrong with my disk until I came online and saw everyone was having the same problem. The game moves just like an arcade...it's completely possible for the AI to score 4 points in the last minute out of nowhere. And don't even bother with the online function. Sometimes a few seconds would go by, and you'd magically wind up in a faceoff?! Crazy.

EA built up high expectations for this one, but they've failed to deliver yet again. Don't buy into the hype!!!!
