I play this game almost exclusively (for past 2 years), and do not get bored of it until around February or March and then the new one is ready to come out haha. I played tons of NHL in the past (in the same manner) but that game is stale now in my opinion and the last few years I just can't get into it no matter how much I love hockey. I dabble in other games but always come back to the Show or NHL but right now it is always the Show.
