This is an awesome sim hockey game.

I pretty much love everything about this game. The graphics which may lack a bit polish from the EA games, is still great. Sound is excellent, the crowd and commentary is good. The vaule gets a 10. There are so many things to do like a deep franchise mode, party mode, skybox, etc. The sliders actually work and there are a ton to choose from. But one things that this game that 2K dominates EA over is the simulation GAMEPLAY. This game actually takes stragey to score unlike EA where you score 20 a game and the CPU just scores right after, very unrealistic. This game's gameplay is simpliy awesome especally if u play on pro or above. Vaule is a big help for this game cause there are alot of things to do and for like 4-7 bucks i paid for, a huge steal. Now the downside i hear is the franchise mode bug(s) but there or it's avoidable and the penalities are a bit high but the sliders help this. But other than there is no reason why you should not pick up this hockey game if ur a hardcore hockey fan.
