    I've always loved this series. Look, it never has the glitches Madden does and they always seem to throw in features every year that are just a bit different. The roster updates are worth it to me and after this weird season it was cool to play what looked like normal hockey. Always loved the game play. Graphics are great and I don't have any huge complaints. Not even about the poke checks, haha. Fun game every year.

    The franchise is on the right path with its newest updates to game play and menu systems. The NHL 94 mode is a fun little treat along with the HUT Rush system. The new Be a Pro update is entertaining but can make simming weeks in advance a hassle as you get hit with challenges. The challenges only make or break you if you're just starting out.

    Fantastic game with great depth. It just feels right and fun. Some online people are difficult but there are an abundance of players. It’s overall well worth the money.

    Online play is excellent as usual, and the hockey ultimate team keeps me coming back. Traditional season mode and franchise solidify the single player experience.

    Be a pro mode is the best option on this game. Play in Canada or Europe and go through the draft or start in the NHL and choose your team
