All I care about nowadays, beyond decent gameplay of course, is deep customization. A deep deep edit mode is what everyone is clamouring for nowadays.

Gamers want control!

PS.. PC is emerging as the absolute best platform. Such an open platform you got to love it. Soon Steam is allowing developers to self-publishers via something called Steam Direct. The sports genre is going to open up like floodgates I predict.. Welcome innovation !!

This looks very encouraging. I would love the customization and franchise options but am just happy for another option to play on Xbox One.
I will be buying this.

Self publishing ain't new on Steam. Steam Direct is replacing the old program and will have tighter restrictions to cut down on shovel-ware.

while I always appreciate new hockey games....this does nothing for me. It looks cheesy and not that interesting. I really want a product that is going to push EA out of the lull that they have been in for the last 7-8 years. This is not that product.

I'm definitely interested in getting it for PS4. Anyone know the price?

is it any good?
can you shut off how the net catches fire and all those stupid symbols in gameplay???

Day one purchase and it should be for every single one of us as an investment, if nothing else. Need tovshow any company support for a field that has one game only for far too long.

OK so why is a game made by a Canadian company released a month early in Europe ?? Is this a demo? Something's not right here. If the game is ready why not release it here.

Well it's not a demo. It is a full game, with a price tag for almost 18€, with all modes and features. The funny thing is, this version has the "old" teams: Charleston Blues etc. (which I'm playing the story mode).
Btw, the story mode isn't that easy.....at least for me.
And for those "burning nets", I couldn't find any options to turn it off. I thought it would bother me too but I found out it doesn't, they only flame up when a team (which is on "fire") scores.

# 14 Splitter77 @ 02/27/17 09:10 AM

i guess the ps store released it early.
There are already gameplay videos on youtube.

Doesnt look that great. Gameplay looks repetitive. Was hoping it was more like hitz [pro where the games were fun and you would see something new every game. With goalmouth scrambles and such.

I guess if the stat tracking is good in this game I might get it.

It also looks like you can change between 3 camera angles. I have to say the broadcast cam looks sweet.

# 15 walhalla @ 02/27/17 11:53 AM

Yes, you can choose between three cameras. Broadcast, Action and Classic(if I remember correctly). The game is lotta fun in my opinion. Gotta try it while drinking beer with friends though.....
Btw, I checked the PS Store today....and the game is gone!

Definitely gonna buy it, even if it's 20 dollars. To be honest every hockey fan should buy it to support the devs and encourage other developers to make more and more hockey games!

The game looks fun, from what I've seen of the gameplay on YouTube.

The only thing that is kind of annoying to me is how the goalie passes the puck off to one side of the goal after he corrals it....even if there is an opponent right there. It can be seen at the 3:23 mark of this video:
