I've played this game for a couple hours now and I'm already getting addicted to it! Unbelievable NHL game!
I definitely loved the new checks. They sound and look more realistic then just falling on the ground and getting back up in half a second without being stunned most of the time, I felt this NHL game was all about being realistic in game. So far I didn't see any new dekes, or goalie saves, but I am going to experience more and I'm confident that this game will satisfy you the best way possible. As well as face-offs are much more better in this game, not too hard, not too easy, just right. One of the best things I've been dreaming of in a NHL game is going upstairs and calling the goal in our not in. One of the best ideas yet. I loved it.
So far that's all I have for this game but will probably have more soon, but overall, an outstanding game and many great things await me, and you if you don't have this game, so get off your computer now and head to your nearest video game store. You're already missing out.
