This game is awesome, even better than '08. I loved last year's game and so I was eager to pick this one up and I love it. Everything is still here including the dekes, shot controls, international teams etc. Added this year is a stick raise, you are now able to dump the puck in high in the air, new one-handed dekes, and online tournaments and teams, and create a pro. Everything about this game is enjoyable from exhibitions, to online play, to creating a pro. With create a pro, the game allows you to create your own person, and play as them in games as you rise up through AHL hockey to the NHL. This game mode is very fun and immersive and won't let you down. I'm the biggest fan of online play. You can either find a quick game, ranked or unranked, a shootout match, or set up online tournaments with your created teams with your friends. This is a lotta fun when you get a bunch of people together and are able to play tournament games and have brackets. This is a game not only for hockey lovers, but for those who love sports and who love a great game. Don't pass this game up as you will regret it. All game modes and everything about this game is great, fun, and innovative.
