Try playing NHL 2006 and then come play this....you'll see what I mean, its like picking up a totally new totally retarded game, I was ready to rip my eyeballs out of my head after I had seen the new controls. And now onto the sound.....another epic failure, There are only like 10 new songs to listen to, and after playing this for an hour or two you get sick and tired of hearing them, not to mention the announcers, I mean christ, they add NOTHING play with them for an hour or two, you'll be ready to duct tape their mouths shut and shove them off the nearest bridge! Bah, garbage.
anyways, unless the ONLY thing you care about is a new roster, stay the hell away from this game. Buy Nhl 2006.
