The game f***ing sucks, as somebody who played high level 6s the on ice gameplay is much worse then 23s, the pressure system is horrible and slows the game down to a halt. even with max speed and 90+ endurance it's like your playing an alumni game as one of the 60 year old men. you lose energy way to quickly and when you have low energy you can't f***ing do anything, even with high energy they completely f***ed up the stick handling, it takes way to long to go from backhand to forehand even with high deking stats it doesn't make a difference. Goalies in 6s can just sit in the middle and they will save 75% of shots even ones on the short side they aren't covering but also sometimes they will be covering the shortside and you will just shoot it right through them. Hip checks are broken you get slightly touched by them and immediately crumble but they are the only effective way to knock players off the puck, poke checks are unreliable, stick lifts are an auto penalty and the new hitting often just doesn't work. For some reason the morons at EA decided that every time someone scores a goal you have to watch a 15 second unskippable cutscene of a guy celebrating, the game just loves wasting your time. The main reason to buy new NHL games for the past couple of years was to play EASHL 6s but now it is just not fun to play. The singleplayer modes went un-updated from last year's game, and are still horrible messes, the be a pro still has your coach annoying you 4 times a game slowing the gameplay to a halt. The franchise mode is still laughably horrible when compared to nba 2k's franchise mode. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, instead go on ebay and get yourself a copy of NHL Legacy. It will probably cost less money and you'll get a better game.
