    This is the first version of NHL I've bought on the next gen consoles so I can't really compare it to any of the last few years editions. The graphics are amazing and the game mechanics are great. You can play pond hockey in the World of Chel feature, which is cool. You do need Xbox live gold to play 3 of the 4 games modes in it though. The training camp feature is great (the last version I owned for 360 I had to google how to win faceoffs). It helps you learn how to do most of the fancy things with the right stick. I also like on Be A Pro how you get suggested things to do in the game, complete with the controller instructions, which help level up your pro.

    The gameplay is awesome. The player mechanics are so realistic. The graphics are almost identical to last years NHL but it’s really the gameplay that counts. One annoying problem that I encountered is creating a team in franchise mode. The game freezes out and restarts about 15 minutes in with creating a team.

    Horrible

    Horribly flawed game. The gameplay mechanics are horrible. Doesn’t resemble anything like real hockey. Teammate AI in be a pro or horrible and incompetent while opposing teams AI pass the puck flawlessly and can skate seemlessly through the slot without any defense helping out. That’s just barely scratching the surface of this franchise that has just gotten so bad.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
