    EA has the deepest, most immersive franchise available for hockey titles.

        Yeah, and the best Franchise mode they had was 2K8, but it froze early in Season 2. So basially you can only get one season out that Franchise mode. 2K10's is decent, but too plain, though the headline part at the home menu is pretty cool.

            2K10 had a nasty freeze glitch that ruined their franchise mode.

            Never patched it, sadly.

              You could reload your save in 2k though.


              EA NHL 12 has frozen for me a few times, overall the 2k had better "stat" tracking than EA, with the history, books, league leaders, more in depth career stats, goalie wins, less franchise glitches (like the new sim engine if you join late in the game and you win, your goalie gets no credit for the win).

              Entirely up to you, I say try both like i have, 2k is what? 10 bucks now used? and with 2k share you can get the latest rosters created by the kind people who still play it.

                You could put any year's number after the 2k from 2k4 on to find the same glitch.

                  The only freeze I ever experienced with 2K10 was the Faceoff freeze, which was fixed for the 360. Never seen any Franchise freezes.

                    So NHL 2K8 is the answer. Because EA NHL franchise kinda blows.

                      No, you won't make it much further than season 1. EA's is fine and besides if you guys have a problem with the lack of penalties in NHL 12, you'll hate NHL 2K8 because it is worse there.

                        So NHL 2K10 is the answer. And why won't I make it past season one.

                          Franchise freezes in season 2. Everytime.
