it could be the perfect game EXCEPT:

1. even if you lost in the regulation, it still give you an OTL.

2. you are limited to 5 & 10 minutes per period (this is really ridiculous, why not include 6,7 & 8 minute choices)

3. when in D, your F are just standing up unless u control 1 of ur F, in your defence only 2 guys moving, your d-man.

4. even in all-star, your players when in defensive transition, they keep bumping at each other.

5. when you're in the offensive rush, your teammates seemed blind. example, im carrying the puck (C) im trying to move to the RW, im expecting that my RW will either stop or go reverse, no no no, he will bump to you or will not go out of his way to have your space in the ice.

6. when changing up, the direction pad (for substitution) is still in a mess like in 07.

7. when you change up, its either all-for-one or none at all! what i mean, you cant change the F or D-man only. its stupid!

8. ONLINE LEAGUE - forget about it. no in-depth stats, no trades, etc. plainly bland, i was wondering why put this as an option online. completely waste of time.

9. ONLINE gaming - lots of problems of d/c and giving you a Loss even if ur leading when you get d/c.

10. FREQUENT Game freezes both in Online/Dynasty.
