I like the EA series. Yes some releases have frustrated me, but it is hockey. Since the other series came out I have been relatively happy with EA. 2005 I think is their worst effort, yet I've still been able to get some satisfaction out of it. I'll probably rent both of them this year and decide from there, but likely I'll stick with EA since I've got every edition since 94.
In regards to the dekes. So what? I rarely see the CPU use those moves and I never use them myself. Just because they include a funtion to appeal to others doesn't mean that somebody else should swear off the game because of said funtion, especially when they could easily not use it.
