I'm glad I'm not the only one enjoying this game. It obviously has some flaws but it is a lot of fun to play. You guys are right about the little things in the presentation. I really like the cutscene in the locker room after each game. Top notch stuff.

The locker room is a cool touch. In the game that I lost in the last ten seconds....when the final buzzer sounded the Ducks erupted from their bench and celebrated....really neat that the game recognized the timing of the winning goal.

So far this game's not half bad. Too fast, though, and I'm not even one of those 'speed zero no speed burst' espn guys.

The CPU right now is a decent challenge, seemingly without cheating.

Anyone up for a game online? I don't think I have a usb headset, though...

Seen any injuries yet? And if so how are they handled? I'm seeing injury reports in the franchise news, but none in any of my 4 franchise games and I have yet to see any in about 20 exhibitions.

Yes,

I've had players go down with both short and long term injuries. Everything seemed to be handled well. You are asked to go to the edit line screen to fill holes when guys are going to miss starts.
