NHL 08, but more!!!

The games takes the foundation of last years game and makes some big improvements on them. For instance this years game is a lot smother than last years and the shot stick is more functional and more easily adaptive. The realism is there, for instance if you make a break and get a break away with someone like Alexander Ovechkin you're putting that thing in the back of the net most of the time, with keeping in mind that you need to get use to the control scheme if you've never played NHL 07 or NHL 08. The other thing the game is packed with features from online play, dynasty mode, foreign europeon teams, and the new ''Be a Pro'' mode where you can create a player and control him from the minors all the way to the NHL. The feature also allows you to pick a current NHL player and play with them in their situation. The mode works on when you are playing the coach will tell you what you did good on and things you need to work on during the game and after every so games you get points to upgrade your players attributes.

Overall this is the best NHL game I have played on the next-gen and is one of the best sports games I have ever played. I strongly recommend to take a look at this game if you are a hockey fan.
