Impressions:
Loved:
- First person fighting (has fight night style controls - loads of silly fun)
- Board Play -finally, feels great very realistic.
- Scrums after the whistle, starting fights after the whistle..!
- All the great stuff from 09 is still great: they didn't break anything (harder than you might think when making a sequel...)
- All the nice new little touches... you'll see what I mean.
Liked:
- Top prospects game - nice touch, but ... Do I really have to begin my career with the Islanders? ugh... My dream is to be on the Flames...
Maybe they'll have a way to influence where you go ala Lindros.
Verdict?
Well, here's a funny story... I work for EA and can get anything they do for free. Last year my order (free game) was due to arrive 2 weeks after the game hit store shelves... I couldn't wait, and ended it buying it 1 day after it hit store shelves instead.
This year I doubt things will turn out any different...!
