where did EA go wrong?

User Rating: 4.7 | NHL 2005 PC
where did EA go wrong? simply: because the gameplay shattered this game, only 2 or 3 things really killed NHL 2005, but they were big things.... first off; the difficulty is not right... I literally just bet Canada playing as the Swiss 10-0 in easy... but in hard I cannot win. Well, I can but with luck, and by luck I mean taking shots from the blue line everytime I come in the zone, because the defense in this game is WAY TOO HARD. and thats a underestimate. and the goalie will let in these impossible shots, when you score 4-5 goals from the blue line in a game.... its not right. EA has been improving every year, but this is a drawback, dont even consider this game... yes it has good graphics, decent sound, but no value because its too hard... and its gameplay could of been a 10/10 if it just could of fixed the defense and the goalies, and I tweaked every single gameplay option I could, spent hours on it, because this game had potential, but it just wasnt meant to be.....
