Looks like I'm in the minority. I buy the game at Christmas but do not play it until the post-trade deadline rosters are released (I play be a gm exclusively).

So yeah, I'm excited to play this game that has been sitting in my cabinet for a couple of months still in the wrapper. haha

As a long time video sports game player, I have yet to see a sports game released that is universally loved. Sure, many games are universally loved 5 years into the future after we have seen the horrible follow ups but I honestly can't remember ANY game embraced by everybody.

For my purposes I only need good on the ice/floor/field gameplay, that one issue makes or breaks a game for me. The stats and other stuff are filler. Then again, everybody is different. From what I can tell us older gamers tend to stick to Be A GM/Franchise mode/etc while younger gamers are more closely tied to online play and various modes I never even try.
