I was very happy with the beta experience, but after purchasing the full version and playing many games, I am realizing that this game is absolutely terrible. The defense and scoring don't make any sense and they made the goalies unbelievably inconsistent. Sometimes your goalie will make a cross-crease hero save and sometimes they'll forget they're an NHL goalie. This game absolutely blows do yourself a favor and don't get it. The only positive is that in EASHL you can hit people after the whistle again...and that's pretty fun. Other than that it's a bunch of bologna. Save your money and have a great day instead of playing this bogus game.
