Today im very sad to say that this is the first NHL game in the series by EA that I do not like. at all. Game looks great, character models are cool, hits look big, but theres even issues with. There are so many issues with this game, players moving very sluggish (no grace to the skating. very robotic, last year was better), players not able to recieve hard passes (im sorry EA, but if NHL players could not recieve hard passes, they wouldnt be in the NHL), 50% of passes not going to ur destination, AI teammates not setting up plays on rushes, AI teammtes all bunching together for excellent playmaking (derp) and the list goes on and on. Last year they added new features which made the game more strategic, boardplays are kinda useless now ( ai always steals the puck and pinning AI is just a waste of time, button only works half the time) stick lifts are super useless now, all you do is lift the guys stick so he can have the puck again. The goaltending is still on the fritz from last year, doing weird things that just make you think, i hope they dont actually try to save like that. I mean dont get me wrong, i love a challenge, but when your players are not capable of making any plays to get momentum moving, im just gonna turn the game off, whats the point in playing a lackluster game. Only game mode worth playing now is be a pro, handle one guy, and even that is annoying since the AI in this game took a step down from last year. All in all im so disappointed, im still gonna play it because im guesing the rest of the NHL's now are gonna be like this, but EA please, PLEASE fix these problems for next year. I love all the games you make and your sports games are untouchable, but this is a disappointment, and a waste of 59.99
