"Ice hockey is a sport largely misunderstood, unwatched, and garners little interest compared to other sports. It is understanding therefore, to a degree that developers have taken some time to get ice hockey right on console gaming. 2K Sports and its direct and sole competitor, Electronic Arts, both have made strides in the past two years in this genre not only graphically, but also by creating a more accurate and immersive experience for gamers."
Overall: This is a fantastic NHL Experience, If your a hockey fan, you will love this game. 2K Sports has outdone themselves on this one, this is by far the best hockey game I have ever bought.
"The top rated NHL Videogame is now EVENBETTER" New features, smarter AI's, what's not to like? The first game I played, it had me begging for more. I was astonished when, just fooling around, I started pushing around a player, to my surprise he pushed back. If you want to play hockey, this is the game for you. Gameplay: The ice is perfectly level, the crowd is chanting as the player's skate out to center ice. With all new features ths gameplay for this game is simply amazing, the face off, you dont hit "A" anymore, you have to properly position your stick to swipe the puck away. The new "ProStick™" control you can handle the puck better, deke and make plays like you've never before. Graphics: The graphics for this game are kick @!%#*!. Its like being there, playing there. The players look real, this is the most realistic hockey game I've ever seen, everything just looks so real.
