Pros and cons on this game

Can someone give me a couple of pros and cons on this game?

I want to buy it, but I have read alot of negatives on it, but barely anything positive.

Pros... Presentation and actual game play

Cons... Too many to list. It's almost like they ran out of time making this game. Besides the modes that were left out, there are so many little things left out or in error.

The game play and presentation is solid in this year's game. The game plays very smoothly and realistically and it's the best presentation package they've put together so far. It really makes it feel like you're watching a game on television.

..... The issue is that's pretty much all the game has going for it at the moment.

Re: Pros and cons on this game

On X-Box One, I've played 30 games so far.

Pro's: Menus are better done. Graphics are impressive. Very smooth gameplay. Some nice detailed graphic touches, like the ice quality getting worse during a period. The deking/puck handling is much improved in animations. Puck bouncing is improved. Break out options in-game strategy is improved.

Con's: Clearly an unfinished game, missing lots of modes and very simple features (ie 3 stars of the game). Announcers are extremely repetitive, got old after the 3rd game. No real music in the game. Collissions are pretty silly, some times on hits my guy acts like a human torpedo. Passing is heavily computer assisted. Computer AI D is again useless. Neutral Zone? What neutral zone? Players in D-Zone still all bunch in one large group in the middle of the blue line? People say the gameplay is awesome, but really its just okay, it just LOOKS better.

Overall: This is a bare bones game. They clearly did not have the manpower/funding to complete the game. Only buy if you are a die-hard NHL series fan and can get by without the missing game modes.

The gameplay is amazing simply tweaked to perfection BUT you have to blend the sliders to your skill !!!

I only play Playoff Mode and once they add that , 3 stars and possible Player edit in September I will be set

Other than poor EA PR and lack of modes I have no beef as this plays a incredibly realistic game of Hockey
