This game is plagued by disc read errors and will not work properly. Dirty disk error messages appear and the game freezes up. EA Sports and Xbox websites have instructions for clearing the memory cache to “fix” the problem. Once the memory cache is cleared, the game still freezes up with the same error message. If your xbox 360 has a memory card instead of a hard drive, it still freezes up anyway. The game was a lot of fun through the first season until the error messages came. If you value your sanity, under no circumstances purchase this game for the xbox 360.

It is really that good
9.0 they give it as a rating. But I would say 9.5
It is that good (I know it is redundant)
The best part is you can do the “be a pro mode”
It is hard to set up the “Be a pro mode” but once you watch the tutorial it is still not that clear hahaahha.
You can be an actual pro or just make yourself an NHL player and have your favorite number and name on the back of your jersey.
It is a very awesome game. In “be a pro mode” you actually have to wait your turn on the bench a certain parts of the game and wait for your stamina to come back up.
Makes you just want to get in the game even more. So much fun. I might know what I am playing all weekend other than watching football.

This game is fun at 1st, however I have to agree with parts of the review from Gwilym. I have been playing hockey sims for some years now and although this one has some nice features and graphics, gameplay is what it is really about and this game is just not up to all the hype, it is neither arcade or a simulator in an arcade game you would have simpler to use controls and less realism, in a sim you would get NHL type games, in this game the AI is horrid, your goalie is nearly useless as are your team mates most of the time, want to prove this, play on any setting and let the AI run the game your AI teamates and goalie will allow at least 4 to 6 goals easily each period, that is not a sim or like the NHL at all granted you are supposed to play, however this is the AI of your teammates so do not expect to much there at all. Online play might be fun if you are into playing a team game, but each time I have tried online you will find alot of 2 on 1 matches so unless you have a buddy to play online with it is not fun at all. Lastly, this is a game and should be challenging yet accessable to new comers or non gameaholics, this really is neither… I cannot find 1 person to play this and this is the only title they do not like friends, family will play every other game I have, but this one they all say the controls stink and they loose interest. If you are an avid hockey game fan or have friends also interested and have the time (ie: live off your parents or in their basement) this might be a game for you, but if you only have a couple hours a week to play… I would recommend a different game. To sum it up this is fun for a short period of time, it is not for casual gamers and really turned me off from the genre. It is sad because the game could have used customizable controls and better difficulty settings to get past most of it’s issue’s, brining more people to the genre but if more are made like this on… hockey titles will go the way of many racing games dwindleing to a small dedicated audience, unfortunetely since I cannot get anyone around me interested in this, I could care less if that happens… If I was one of the 5 star raters here and elsewhere well good luck playing against the very few and getting worse and worse products in the genre because of the larger communities lack of interest. Lastly I want to say how horrible the documentation is, there are settings that you will have to go to forums to find out what they do and entire parts of the game undocumented, it is some of the worst documentation I have yet to see in a game, there are some tutorials which are nice but the lack of documentation is a joke.

This game freezes during game play or sometimes I can’t even play because the disk will come up as unreadable. For the past 3 years I have had this problem with EA Sports NHL games. Every other game I have works perfectly.
