    is this anything like nhl: rock the rink on ps1? cause that game was and still is awesome! :D

  • GeekdadCanada

    Does it play the Hartford Whaler song? This game looks great for my 8 year old son and I to play. The full sized disk games are too complicated for him.

  • Sole Epiphany

    Yes!!!!! I know what I am doing after work!!!!

  • Jambi Bum

    It’s a pretty good game. Only really minor issue I have with it is that the online play is only 1v1.

  • Jambi Bum

    Nevermind. I’ll edit that post. You can play 3v3, but only with guests. Seeing how I just got a 3v1 where the other two guys just relentlessly hit my two AI partners and my goalie. That’s how I got my first loss. Woo.

  • ElektroDragon

    “EA may retire features” because EA wants you to buy the same game over and over again every year.

  • darkjester74

    “EA MAY RETIRE ONLINE FEATURES AFTER 30 DAYS”

    So 30 day trials of games run 800MSP now? Thanks EA!

    Those graphics look like NHL05 with the “bigheads” cheat enabled.

  • Exu

    This game is rubbish.

  • rowe33

    Why not just fix the b/c of NHL Hitz Pro so the saves work? It’s a MUCH better game…

  • Outinthedark

    Don’t knock this game until you try it! Having a blast with my kid brother. I’m sure I’ll get my $10 out of this game.

    1v1 multiplayer is kind of lame though.

  • Shonk

    I try to avoid ea games due to their policy of retiring games

    If i pay for a game that is online i expect to be able to play it

    seems fair doesnt it?

  • Gorkinlot

    Peggel and Space Invaders wanted

  • KP ScuzzyBunny

    I don’t think EA should be allowed to retire the online features of their games. I understand the aspect of wanting to control supply/ demand and the round-about forcing consumers to buy the latest version of a game (MS does it too…that’s why no game on both the 360 and Xbox is BC), but to sell a game with the disclaimer that “Notice is posted” that you could have as little as 30 days is BS. If EA doesn’t want to support a game on their servers, it should be moved to either peer to peer or a MS server, and then they could just disable the roster updates and things that they “own”. I hate supporting EA, but this game looks like fun…luckily I have Sonic’s Sega Genesis Mega Collection, which was $29.99, and has 49 games on the disc…AND FULL ONLINE SUPPORT for as long as I own it!!!!

  • Etrian

    Filler.

  • Shelldragon3

    This doesn’t have Avatar support right? It really should if not. :p

  • DGJames

    I’m telling you this game is great fun especially if you have a few Microsoft points spare

  • HFC

    This is just good fun this game. Feel the player control is a bit ‘jerky’ at times but this is a game I am really enjoying.
