The key is to temper your expectations. If you tout NCAA 12 as the coming of the football gods in an earthly form, you WILL be disappointed. But if you look at these updates as improvements to an already solid game, then you can rest assured knowing that you will thoroughly enjoy this game.

The NHL series is no different. Since getting it right with NHL09, I keep reading about how "passing is fixed" etc etc. Every year, I see the same issues. BUT, each year those issues are less and less.

The key is that the EA devs acknowledge the issue and dislike the suction just as much as we do. They're implementing what they can, and I think this new tackling system will be a nice improvement. Don't forget: it wasn't too long ago that gang tackles of ANY kind were a pipedream to this series.
