I generally try to note any positive features as well as any negative ones when I review something... That being said I have to admit that I'm at a complete loss as to anything about this game qualifying as positive. I've been buying and playing NHL for 17 years and at some point they just stopped improving and started to, little by little, ruin aspects of the game. And they've raised the proverbial bar this year. Hits have been absolutely ruined, skating is a weird clunky sort of sprint, 1 button Michigan's almost every game. They've extended the premium markets supply though as well as stretched the amount of things required for sets to be completed. Chel is no better if not worse and other than peak hours is typically dead. Just a lazy, poor excuse for a sequel. Would rate 0 but can't.
