i love ea sports games especially nhl 2004... so i couldnt wait to get this game.... went out, bought it, and im really not too pleased with it. i love the skill stick its definatly a great new addition to the game... but it seems to me the only way u can score in the game is going head on with the goalie and deking him, or just winding up infront of the net and slamming the puck right off the goalie and trickling in...? freaking retarded.. wheres the good ol' one timers i miss those ever so much... o thats right the AI is never where they're supposed to be, and if they are the puck just seems to slide right past them i dont get it. also the multiplayer experience was not that great either... playing on the same team against the computer just isnt wat it used be... passing is horrible and the one timer thing again just makes me wanna buy 2k7. another thing is the effin penalties they call... i mean i can understand its "just a video game" but like come on.. no delay of game call? which is absurd. these bs icing calls when like 3 people are in the zone and it practically goes though every one of them and still ends up icing... and jesus the fighting... worse than 2004 lol i didnt think that was even possible. this game brings me back to nhl 94/95 with these retarded goals... i think its cool if u wind up and shoot the puck like 90- 100 mph and the goalie cant really hold on to it and it bounces out and trickles in... but every time? kinda lame... also the whole like thing when your winning the opposing AI will just get these retarted goals.. its so blatent... u honestly can see it coming way before it even happens... idk maybe like hide it a little better, if thats possible? well, overall if your a die hard hockey fan just buy this game because its the better of the 2 that are out now. i just hope EA gets their **** together before they think about rushing out another weak release like this one.
