Solid game with some annoying AI bugs.
Another annoying AI problem deals with the fact that the computer controlled team scores a lot of really weak goals on shots that pose no threat in real life. On the Pro difficulty, the computer often scores 4 or 5 goals in a row in an attempt to make the game more even. You'll find that you have games where your goalie has a 50% save percentage due to the cheap play from the computer. The worst part is that you never know how well the computer is going to play on the higher difficulty settings. Sometimes you'll blow them out and other times, they'll be an unstoppable force so you can't really play with the AI learning to suit it to your skill level.
When in shootout mode against the computer, their first shooter will always make the same move over and over again in any rematches.
This game is better suited for multi-player than single-player. I can't comment on the online play as I do not have access to the Playstation Network. Hopefully next year's version will address some of the glaring problems that I find annoying.
