The latest hockey release from EA sports stands up well to its older brothers. There really aren’t any new ground breaking features to speak of but it is still a solid game. First thing you’ll noice is how good this game looks the players are recognizeable if you recognize any NHLers anyway. The controls seem to be revamped a bit most noticeable is the shoot feature. You still use the right thumb stick to shoot but they made the wrist shot easier to release. It runs smooth and looks good. The shoot outs are also done well. Use the right thumbstick to deke and then shoot you gotta watch the goalie and shoot it where they leave an opening.
“What do you mean they took the fighting out of it. Fighting was the best part of the old version!”
“I think kids were beating each other up or something. But you can make someones head bleed Mikey.”
“Make someones head bleed!!!”
