I am not an NBA fan, I only watch it during conf. finals and the finals (yea same thing with MLB) so I am not playing and buying NBA every year (my last was nba 2k11, just because MJ is in NBA).

Anyhow, I am playing NBA's "MyCareer". Sure, there are some areas to improve this mode according to the expert gamers of this mode, but I like it! MyCareer is FAR SUPERIOR than EA's NHL. Presentation and the music during pregame and halftime in NBA is awesome to say the least (and I am not big fan of their music tracks). NHL Presentation...is there one???

And yet they are same price at the release date. Every year, there's not much difference in NHL. I DONT KNOW WHY. If I compare NBA 2k11 and 2k13, I can see the glaring difference. NHL 2011 and 2013 not much of a difference, just adding and deduction of some features.

Now, adding NHL 94 and with the blue ice, offline only...is that worth $60??? I am really staying away from NHL for awhile until I see vast improvements in every aspects of this game.

Ramjagsing had to have swallowed the blue pill in order to be a spokesperson for EA, seriously. As if NHL 94 arcade mode looks and plays much different from so-called simulation mode. What a company.
