I really didn't think they could improve NHL:EHM 2005.
It is emmersive, like the last ones, and has even more detail added. The new tactics for individual players alone is enough to make this worth buying, but it certainly doesn't stop there. New AI, 2D engine and statistical depth are sure to impress fans of the series and hook new ones.
Personally, I did not think that 2005 could be improved upon, and I was wrong, and have never been happier to be wrong.
