This game play seems to have been improved.
Like most nhls graphics seem exactly the same.
My two gripes about this game is 1) they added a lot of animation in between periods and at the end of each game that when you like to fly through and just get to the gameplay in online games and even off line, make it longer to speed through games. While off line you may hit start but it still adds time to each game and is buggy. 2) I’d like to see hut improved, after playing mut this year I can see how they put almost no effort into hut. Madden has an app for the auction house. Imagine if just that was on nhl.
