Let me preface this by echoing my previous posts that this game is such a disapointment with lazy, close-minded and biased, Canucks region homer developers...

Was I ever wrong...

The physics in the game are much cleaning and sensible. You actually have to turn a player to make an accurate pass rather than just holding a direction while facing the opposite and making blind, between the legs cross ice passes.

Hitting is much more realistic too... In my "returning user" packs, I drew Johnny Hockey and Sam Bennett. I tried hitting David Backes with JG and bounced off of him with what is essentially a "charging" hit. So player size does matter.

players stats are not jacked up right off the hop with normal cards so there is room for bringing in the milestone, TOTW, POTG, etc.. cards. Having a team of 95-99 rated players in 15 was stupid. There is room, stats wise, for the "special" cards.

My description probably isnt that clear but all i can say is that so far, I was very wrong.

This game is miles beyond the previous installments of the franchise and im really glad i didnt stay true to my initial opinion about this game. I would have regretted it.

Game on!!!


only issue is the 10 hours play time.. if theyre going to release it early, then just bloddy well release it early to those who qualify.. Now I have to manage how much I play until tuesday?.. probably a server stress test is what the 10 hours early play is all about... But i'll take what I can get, i guess.

It may play good now, but the casual fans will complain and a new tuner set will ruin it by October. Happens every year.
