If you do a search of the impressions thread, you'll see my review at the time was pretty good...

However, that was back in February. Now, I have no desire to play it. When I do, it's pretty underwhelming.

Too sloppy, players whiffing on easy passes and slapshots, falling down if they're nudged, hitting is hard to do for me against the CPU, and with the exception of the crowd noise, goal scoring is bland, due to the lack of celebrations.

Not to mention the extremely slow load/ sim game times. Ugh....

Probably gonna become a trade-in for something else. I'm still going with 11 (4 years in my BeaGM), and still having a great time! Just plays a more fun game of hockey, IMO...

Ah well, I tried to like 13, but meh. Oh one thing I noticed that should go in the B&G thread, but like I said I won't be keeping the game: with about 40 seconds left, the CPU pulled its goalie. Good, however, the ******* CPU never put him back on the ensuing face off in their end. Lol, easy empty netter for me...
