Same here. For me it's either this or MVP 2005.

Easily my favorite hockey game since the days of Super Nintendo.

The game is now 9 months old and it still feels as fresh as ever, for me.

I hope they fix the hip checks, the fighting and the lack of variety of penalties called. Some new animations would be great as well.

Wonder what it's like when your line isnt on the ice lol. Do you just chill or what?

Ha! That's a damn good point. I'd love to see/hear the coach chew you out if you screw up on the ice.

Also, how great would it be to experience the chatter on the bench and the back-and-forth jawing between the benches while you're waiting for your line to get the call.

i hope they fix the puck over glass thing. seems like every time i take a nasty slapshot and miss the net the puck goes out of play and it gets really really annoying.

Or get hazed by fans while you're in the penalty box lol. Make sure you don't get injured either or else the game will get REALLY boring. hahaha. I dont think watching your player sit on a couch at home, watching the game on tv would be very exciting haha

They need to put in COOP, and have the game get "chippy."

Unemotional players lead to boring Hockey.

Another thing with line changes. During stoppages in play when you pick your line, show me the energy levels of the lines at the same time.

That preview video has Kopitar getting leveled. Not liking that
