TripleChat writes, "Thankfully for video game sports fans everywhere, the NHL brand has competition every year when it comes to gaming. Unlike the NFL, NCAA, FIFA, etc…the NHL has refused to be bought out. This isn't anything but great news for us – because every year both EA and 2K duke it out to put out the best hockey title. EA has been reigning supreme since 2007, but 2K could always come back and surprise us again."
TripleChat has posted their hands on impressions of the game, and their outcome has been quite positive. One main complaint of last year's title was the defensive controls, and from what they played of the game the issue seems to be gone. The new goaltender animations are impressive and should help decrease the opportunity for glitch goals. The new fighting system is both welcome and entertaining. The gaming community could be in for yet another award winning hit.

Mark from GamersFTW asks what's the worst experience you've had playing video games?
Brings back memories of uni days :) Did once punch a wall I got so frustrated. Was either that or destroy a controller. Fortunately I didn't break anything, but unfortunately it was a solid brick wall and my knuckles hurt like s*** afterwards!
Everyone has felt a little bit furious when they were hit by a blue shell in Mario Kart.
Never injured myself but I do remember crying once because the video game character wouldnt do what I wanted it too... Arrrgghhh the frustration!
I actually threw a controller at my brother once for constantly button bashing and not giving me a chance to fight back during a Tekken match. God I was such a bad loser.
Mario Kart is a big culprit. Never thrown anything in anger, but caused massive arguments between my best friend and I. I also hurt myself spinning around on a computer chair in victory and falling backwards.
Natalya in Goldeneye I never wanted to hurt someone so much.
And for pure, unbridled fury... CALL OF DUTY being verbally abused by 11 year olds is not my idea of gaming bliss.
am not a fan of sports. Growing up as a “hardcore” gamer, sports never really appealed to me, especially watching them. While I understand the rules and regulations of a large majority of sports, they just don’t have the same draw to me as they do to others. Why would I freak out about the achievements of other people? So when it comes to playing a game based on activities that I don’t really watch? No thank you. Why write an article about a sports game that is five years old? Because, this small game has lead to me to becoming a screaming fanatic, if only for a short while.
