don't even bother
1. The way the skaters skated made it almost impossible to get to the puck in a reasonable manner
2. The difficulty settings were totally inaccurate. I played as amateur and the guys beat me but when i play as hard i totally own. (same teams)
3. There is nothing "cool" about the shot stick or whatever its called. It messes up your shot when you try to shoot and end up dekeing (?)
4. The passing button is stupid. Who the hell would put the passing button on one of the most unused buttons on the controller, the right bumper.
The makers tried to be too unique and it what they made was something that shouldn't even be on the market. They tried to map the passing on a unique button, the right analog stick for dekeing and shooting and the skating style of the players. I wasn't sure if i should sell the game to gamespot for fear that someone else would get jipped and f**ked.
