well now that hockey is back, this game is perfect for a hockey fan. The graphics are very good and the control is perfect. Not a suprise from EA games. If you like hockey, get this game and you will be satisfied believe me. Be sure to have a memory card with 1019 blocks or over it doesnt work on a 256 card.

Overall, An entertaining game but as a previous reviewer stated,
you feel like the computer stacks it up against you.
I've had my goalie go into the corner to get the puck and "penalty" is called. All this while not even moving my goalie voluntarily.
Every other shot hits the post.
Great players like Mario Lemieux and Joe Thornton can't get out of their own way while small , speedy players like Steve Sullivan and Saku Koivu can score at will.
On breakaways in 2P mode, all you have to do is deke the goalie to get him to bite and he will fall down like he was shot almost every time.

This game is great! I'm not the person to know a lot about hockey but this is still a great game! Dynasty Mode:Awesome! I trade for great players in this if they are injured or are on a cold streak(you get mail in the game on that). You can make your own teams with family, friends, made up people etc.Bottom line is get this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game was a gift to my nephew, but he loves it and says it's a blast to play.
