I like it, but I mainly play be a pro. I enjoy running through a whole career and seeing my player improve year after year.

I really think the hitting is well done, the broken stick stuff doesn't happen as much as you go along.

I do find that its tougher to get shots through to the goalie in this version, and the skating animations are much better then last year.

Is it the perfect hockey game? Far from it, but I have a lot of fun with it, especially when I was drafted as a defenseman for Vancouver and would pick up Roberto's rebounds and pass them to the back of our own net.
