All-new AI recreates the play styles and personalities of the biggest names in the game Go online and compete with the best players from around the country Average Rating:
 Rating: - AI WoesThis current installation of the NHL franchise is, for the most part a solid game, with familiar controls and management options. My one beef is the AI: I had fun playing the game on every setting up to, but not including difficult. Playing on this setting sapped all the fun out of the game! You could be playing as one of the best teams in the league against, say, the Florida panthers or Columbus bluejackets, outshoot them 10 to 1, and still be losing 2-0! While it seems their goalie is the lord ... Read More Rating:  - Rent it first.......A lot has already been covered in previous reviews. My biggest gripe is a lack of head to head play in season mode! If you are playing another person you have to play on the same team unless you are in quick game mode. In season mode you can no longer have you and your friend pick 2 fav teams and play the season out. You now have to select all 30 teams and sim all the other games which seem to arise out of order and you and up doing a sim game on the one you wished to play. Secondly, ... Read More Rating:  - Not as bad as people make it out to beI am not going to hype this game or make negative aggressive remarks about it either. The problem that we have here is there are no good NHL games in the video game market at this time. I own ESPN NHL 2k5 for the PS2 and I thought it was a terrific game and even improved on last year's ESPN Sega title. That was until I got 26 games into a dynasty and the game froze up on me. Not one of those oh damn maybe I should reset the game and play it over. No, the dynasty froze up. I could not even simulate past the ... Read More Rating: - Did I mistakenly buy Hitz?I'm an avid hockey fan, player, and supporter of the EA franchise, having played the games since 93. This year EA took a major step back from having a fun hockey game to having a frustrating one. (I've played 21 games into a season on normal or hard (I forgot) and am 15-4-1-1 so I'm not complaining because I can't win.) Issues: When you switch players it often doesn't go to the guy you'd expect it to go to (i.e. the closest one to the puckcarrier). Your team AI is dumb as a box of rocks and ... Read More Rating: - Does not learn from last years mistakesLast years NHL 2004 was a major step backward for the usually good NHL series from EA sports. It included very poor control of player movement, a bad passing system, poor one-timers, difficult face-off system, lack of fully editable players in dynasty modes, bad menu flow, not enough tweakable controls to create your own experience, and worst of all was the over the top hitting/checking. This years edition only improves on the problems with the menu flow (this years is actually quite good), however it ... Read More |
