I feel sorry for anyone paying $60 for this game. This is the most half-assed NHL game yet. The legends team isn't even interesting to play as at all. All they did was put whatever legends they could get then threw in players with the highest ratings to fill in the rest of the slots. Luongo backing up Patrick Roy = lulz. NBA 2k does it a million times better by putting in the ACTUAL classic teams.

I love how after a big hit or nice deke the commentators say "we'll all be watching that on the NHL network this week" then in the replay cutscene seconds later it'll just show some random hit. The hitting physics are screwed up

Presentation is still complete garbage. Same lines. Same cutscenes you'll never want to watch. Same crappy replays that don't even show the play developing.

NBA 2k games shit all over EA's garbage. Too bad they can't make a good 2k hockey game.

Edit: seriously, just compare NBA 2k12's "be a player" mode compared to NHL https://www.facebook.com/note.php?no...50285386202267
