In search of normal hockey, you have to try this kind of slag. I can honestly say that I was looking forward to this game very much, and was just as disappointed. I've been playing hockey simulators since 95 and maybe an earlier version since Sega. And once upon a time, my favorite game was NHL 98 on PC - since we play it with friends all the time - it was not perfect, it was much better than many series even released later. For example, in NHL 99 there were sick near nines - or rather, 90% of the goals were scored in them from the same point. In 1998 hockey there was also a problem point - we called it rolling, when you drive at an angle to the goal and jam a shot - the goalkeeper falls to his knees, and you drive out to an empty goal and score. But my friends and I agreed not to use this glitch. And that’s when I saw the trailer for this game - it was somewhat reminiscent of NHL 98 with new graphics. But what a disappointment it was. As a person who has been playing hockey from the age of 8 to this day (and this is already 32 years), I will break it down in order. The first is the passing system - this is one of the main mistakes - they are slow - that is, you pressed pass and the passing animation slowly started - and then the pass comes. You won't be able to play any combination normally - you'll crash into the side behind the goal faster than make more than one pass in the attack zone. The second jamb is hooks, third acceleration, etc. I can write a lot - but I don’t want to anymore (((
