I'm loving this patch. I'm destroying guys who still insist on checking players without the puck and hack/hook/stick lift constantly. Give me all the power plays you want. I beat a kid 5-1 last night with Washington against Chicago and went 4-9 on the power play. It makes it pretty easy to win when your opponent spends half the game trying to kill penalties.
Hooray for real hockey! Cheesers go get @#$^ed!
EA, please keep this as the gameplay prototype for 2010, with a few tweaks here and there. This is the way NHL was meant to be played.
