Learn to play full skill stick mode? Either way, what store in the world in the last 20 years has returned opened software?

Anyway, I don't understand all the vitrol (albeit the controls not working are the most valid complaint). It's the exact same thread if you dig up the EA threads for the last 5 years. I don't understand why everyone expects the game to be leaps and bounds above the year before anymore. I haven't played it a ton, but so far I've noticed the physics are a bit better (the puck doesn't seem glued to the stick anymore, more neutral zone action). Some glitch goals have been taken away, some have been added. Graphics are better (but not great, but at the very least not all the non-major players look like slack-jawed yokels). Some new lines have been added in the commentary. Is it am $80 roster update? Yes, but at the very least it's not an $80 roster upgrade then $200 through the year to make it playable. I certainly have my qualms with the game but I don't think it's as bad as wanting to burn down EA headquarters...

Putting in the old SNES cartridges, and the differences between NHL 94 and NHL 98 are even more minute.
