Don't waste your money.

Once again EA has put no effort into the game. It's what a hockey game would be like if someone from Indonesia described what hockey was to a game dev.

Same game as always, with a shiny veneer.

Little to nothing substantial has changed in the game for years. They changed Be A Pro marginally, but its essentially the same. The only noticeable difference, is that the players actually at like themselves. But there is so much they could do to this game that would make it more immersive, but EA seemingly doesnt care as they know people will buy it every year regardless.

Same thing every year with minimal changes, EAs monopoly on NHL games makes it so they have no incentive to innovate or improve on the game and it shows every year.
