The game is very fun indeed. I like the creativity on offense, you can set up some nice plays. I've been a bigger fan of the 2k series over the past couple of years, but EA seems to have won me back somewhat. The thing that worries me is that I can leave my skater stationary in the offensive zone with the puck, and he is left virtually untouched for minutes at a time, and everyone on the ice just stands still...the defense is extremely passive..they better be more aggressive with higher difficulty and slider changes, or this game will get real boring real fast. But I'll remain optimistic for now.
