^ agreed .
It's by far the best NHL game ever released. The changes in skating, puch mechanics, AI and ability to defend, though aren't anything revolutionary at their core, but really progress the enjoyment of the NHL game by a huge margin. Like it's FUN to play.
Let's hope that they don't screw this up thru tuner updates. I'm also hoping this isn't just my online honeymoon period. That's the phase just after the game releases, where trying to play the game as real as possible (cycling, tryign shots from everywhere, etc) is still the means thru which everyone plays. This ends when the 3 sure way to score mechanisms become apparent and becomes a game of just trying to get to the glitch spot to score (which i'm no good at, making online just a frustratingly annoying experience).
