I have been playing it, and i like the contact signings and stuff...no matter how yedius it may be.

And EA's players look way better, even from above. Im used to it now, but since i havent owned an ESPN game, im used to players skating upright. Like people do.

Its just it looks so unnatural, even from the above-ish ( 3/4 i think) view. It just looks wrong, like they are top heavy or something.

I figured out how to turn stuff up so the goalies are harder, but its still "easy".

I still have questions though.

1. How long is a Dynasty? Like years wise?

2. ( i know this is stupid) but how the hell do you pin people on the boards? It doesnt say in the book thingy, and i keep getting pinned, and i want to pin them damnit.

But I also actually do like the skills competitions, i loved it in the old Sega NHL 97 and 98 ( i think 98 had it too) But I have been dying for them to bring it back. I havent tried the mini game things yet, or party games, because ive been playing it alone, on account i have yet to purchase the online dealy. But when i do, youre goin down.

The graphice ARE horrible, no offense, because you seem to be defending it as much as I am EA, but i mean, come on...the jerseys dont even look like jerseys. I for one enjoy the replays and cut-scenes, it adds to the feel that the game is supposed to look real.

I like the fact you can crete old teams, but I dislike the fact you have to buy their logo first.

But i do have one minute wronging to complain about. The Nordiques away jersey logo isnt supposed to be white, its supposed to be red. Like the home one. *shakes fist*

And I will still be happily buying EA's game no matter what. I just like it, i think they are more fun to play.

And i hate the figthing method. You cant choose to fight or not, and its so unrealistic, i have players constantly fighting who ive never seen in a fight. IE Naslund, Sedin, Sedin, and Linden. The fighters rarely fight, yet the goal scorers are eager to drop the gloves.

EDIT: Alright, the frequent freezings are pissing me off. It always freezes when im simulating a game 7 that my team is in.
