I don't mean to be critical, but that review was fairly simplistic. It wasn't "bad" by any stretch, but I just felt there could've been more said. Like the new backwards skating function, laying the stick on the ice, maximum goaltending, team specific play styles. The review could've also spent more time going over the sweet new animations that actually affect the gameplay, like the new passing and wrister animations, how the hockey sticks actually bend when shooting, how players shift their weight when changing direction, etc...
He called "Pro Controls" and the "Enforcer" system MAJOR additions, and I certainly agree that they're important additions. But they're mostly frosting on the cake. The real MAJOR components are the subtle little nuances that make NHL 2K6 the BEST PLAYING Hockey simulation ever released so far, like those I mentioned above.
Mleh... Maybe I'm just to grumpy in my old age...
