I can't believe how old and fuzzy the graphics look in this game... I can't believe how dull the presentation is... I can't believe how small the characters are to the ice... I can't believe how dead the physics feel...
I can't believe this is a SEGA product.
All of the other 2k3 sports games they have released have been great for presentation, control and graphics. They totally missed with this hockey game... its absolute trash. I've never been so bored playing a hockey game.
It has some redeeming qualities, but its like a piece of gold... you have to sift through miles and miles of mud before you can find the shining nugget that may bring this title out of the toilet.
I personally did not like 2003 from EA... I was hoping this game would be the alternative, now I know there are no good hockey games for any system now... yes I'm bitter and yes this is very negative... but I am totally not impressed whatsoever with this attempt.
It is funny that the things everyone pointed out as bad qualities aren't all the things I am upset with... and the good things are just too few and far between. Although it is on ice the physics on how the men slide are off... you can't slide sideways while on ice(in skates) without shaving or stuttering...
I'm sure it might be fun in multiplayer, but not for the sense that you're playing hockey... rather just the idea of competing. I'm trading it back for Jedi Knight... this is depressing hahaha
