Just got it the other day. I'm kinda pleased with it, that is to say, it wasn't as bad as I thought.
Awesome Features
Great open ice feature helps create great plays
Major Improvements in Dynasty Mode (Finances even include Fan giveaways!)
Practice schedules in Dynasty Mode have more types to offer your team to improve on certain aspects.
Eliminates most of the breakway goals people would often do in he preivouse versions (ie, you need to use skill now)
The Free-4-All mini game is fun.
AI much smarter when it comes to deflecting goals.
They brought back the 'no edit lines' feature!
Faults
Can't configure certain controller buttons.
The Shoot button is the same as the dive button which makes it fustrating after you take a shot and your guy falls on his face.
Too much checking. You can't skate 2 inches without getting hammered.
Really bad goal and hitting the post sounds.
No Fantasy draft in Dynasty Mode yet there is one in Season mode.
No create a player option.
Can't import your created team into Dynasty Mode.
When you go to the menu in mid game with your controller, you can't use your keyboard and vice-versa.
Maybe I got a bum version of it, but I have no commentary (anyone else have this problem?)
Odd how NHL is basically Madden...2 years ago, the features they implimented are old in their other games, they really don't give a crap about this game imo.
