Its a start. Hopefully it can be improved on in the next versions. Great graphics but boring gameplay.

This game has the best graphics of any hockey game I have ever played. It has been about a month since I bought it and my opinion of the game has not changed since the first day I played it. I like the new controls and I hope EA sticks with it and builds upon it for the future. I find the games too long to play and alot of the goals are inconsistent. The unlikely goals go in more often than they should and the obvious ones get saved more often. I do not see alot of replay value and it is simply not a fun game or I should say as fun as some of the older EA hockey games. Overall I like this game better than nhl 2005 but thats about it.
