Reception
[change | change source]The game received positive reviews by game critics. Critics said that they liked the new pond hockey mode, improved controls, and replay value. However, critics also felt that many of the real-life player's faces not being included was disappointing and that the commentary from NHL on NBC's Doc Emrick and Eddie Olczyk was starting to get stale after many games without a change. They also did not like the lack of customization for the game..[5][6][7]
