This title offers many hours of fun through various modes of play, both offline and online. The graphics keep getting better and the loadtimes keep getting shorter. The music library is less vaste than previous titles. The VO's get old quick, but the SE's are great. The controls always work well, but the camera in 'Be A Pro' can still be a bit buggy. I always look forward to a new release in this series.
My last encounter with nhl was in 94. It's a huge improvement since. Great game, nicely done, great sound and voice over. They catch the feeling of being in the arena. My problem is the very long loading screen and the game bug on me a few time. Multiplay is fun but you have to buy a online pass.
