So several patches have helped, and yet the game is still garbage. The over the top celebrations were replaced with really generic ones(maybe next year watch some hockey, see what they actually do). The passing, line changing, hitting, and glitches still need a ton of work(instead of gimmicks fix the nuts and bolts?). Ice-Q? This seems to mean cpu players are as smart as a block of ice. Teammates never look for a pass( often control isn't switched so you just have to watch as they turn away from the incoming pass) or the puck(I've seen the puck glide between a teammates stick and skates, and he made no effort to possess the puck) Are the teammates dumbed down to hide the opponent's limitations? The opponent cpu still relies on the same old cheap tricks: hot goalie, inhuman hands(somehow they can always get a stick on the puck and almost never get called for tripping or slashing), bad refs (and it's worse cause my teammates are all standing on the perimeter eating paste). Goalie pass is unpredictable for wrong reasons, once you hit the button(sometimes even if you don't) you don't know if, when, or in what direction it will go. I also loved the critic review, that said it's good enough for hockey fans. What does that guy know? Apparently not that talking down to the audience is bad. Overall, this was once a super fun game. That's why I give it a shot every few years, but it's keeps getting worse. Sell the rights to 2K already!
