Don't get me wrong, this game look fantastic and the gameplay is really fun, but where's all the features went ?? The gameplay, physics, graphics, commentators are really amazing (10/10). but the game is missing so much stuffs that anyone who paid the full price feel totally rip off !! I'm glad that i pick it up free with a promotion of buying the new xbox one, cause i'm addict to nhl games and so dissapointed like everyone because of all the missing contents. Seriously EA, got **** yourself !!
I guess it will be ok to pay 30$ or less when the price will drop in fews months
