    I think this is one of the better NHL games. It's actually harder to score goals. People need to grab the game by its huge fucking balls and just enjoy it for what it is rather bitch and complain about it seeing as it DOES NOTHING but make you look like a premadonna sissy marie bitch boi.

    k bye

    Without competition, the game is a few updates here and there since 15 and hasn't replicated anything even nearly as good as last gen. The fan projects are proof enough that people want something different - you don't see FIFA or PES knockoffs being made or old games being as highly popular online as hockey (and soccer is much bigger worldwide.)

    GRANTED, I have high hopes for 19 if they are switching over to the frostbite engine - it really pushed Madden and FIFA to new heights. The two big things that need heavy updates are re-inventing the skill stick again for the most free movement we could possibly see - and making goalies a lot more realistic (AI & Human wise). More movements and realistic production.

    I play with the sliders offline a ton and created close to the most realistic experience possible with this engine and it plays way better than online, but still misses a real human element to the formula. Everything still feels very robotic and stiff.

    Complaining here will get you downvotes, but trust me - it pains me daily to see where the franchise has headed, and sales don't do it justice - at all. Last gen NHL was something I played almost every single day.

    Praying 19 brings a new engine, a new fun new formula to the series (even if it doesn't play as well, using well loosely, as 18 does, we need change.) - and hopefully a be a pro mode comparable with something like the Show ;).

    And before anyone tries to debate me, I do my research and even had a hand in making some hacks and mods for NHL games.
    NHL 98/2002/2004/2005/2009
    NHL Hitz Pro/02/03
    NHL 2k5/2k10/2k11
    "?" first person hockey - this game has a 6v6 league comparable to our ESHL

    naming just SOME, have went through online leagues/tournaments/modding/hacking offline/online play because people dislike the way NHL has changed, the community is bigger than you could even begin to imagine. Europeans love the shit.
