This is an excellent hockey game. That being said, I agree that it is probably one year off from being a perfect hockey game. EA has put down a great foundation. I’m enjoying a great dynasty feature (I may be considered old-school, but dynasty is all I play in today’s sports games – leave the training camps and other stuff for the kids). So far, I’ve played over 30 games, and I still look forward to playing another 30, and then another 30 after that. That is saying a lot about the greatness of this game, as I don’t think I’ve played over 30 games with any of the hockey titles in the last 5 years. Also, don’t let the learning curve frustrate you. It took me about 10-15 games to learn how to win faceoffs (I was on the receiving end of 1-49 faceoff stats). Now, I win around 50% to 60%. Can’t wait for next years edition.
