Fun, engrossing, addicting, but ...
I started playing this game and had no initial problems. I go online to do the MMO 6-on-6 game and it starts freezing up in the lobby and disconnecting me when I make it into a game.
From there, it keeps freezing up or giving me a disc read error when I'm playing Be A Pro mode. Pretty annoying when I'm in the 2nd or 3rd period. This is the first NHL game that I've bought in a long time. I bought it on the basis of the reviews and the demo.
I know they released something saying that they were going to give us a patch or something to fix it. I'm not crossing my fingers. They also said that you could clear your cache, but that didn't work for me. It made it worse actually. After I did that, it won't load past the EA Sports intro.
It's absolute garbage to release a game like this and it be so defective. How can this be? Then EA has the NERVE to say that this problem is "rare" ... maybe they should check their forums a little more closely.
Use caution when buying this game.
PS. How are you people not recommending this review? I'm clearly pointing out a glitch in the game and warning people to beware of the product. You clearly must not be reading the review.
