Again, this is probably something that would be more fun with friends, but even then I feel like it's only taking time away from the actual hockey part of the game, which is infinitely more fun. It got to a point where I was just letting my player get knocked out just to get it over with quicker. I'm not sure exactly how they're triggered, but some games barely have any while others are littered with them. There are fights that happen during the games which I found super tedious. There is a knockout tournament mode where each round is a seven game series, which is quite fun to play alone, but it's not something you'll get a huge amount of mileage out of. My main takeaway from it is that the gameplay itself is pretty fun, but I guess unsurprisingly for a game at this price point, there's not a lot of depth outside of that.īest suited as a multiplayer game to have fun with friends, so it's a shame it's only local multiplayer. I'm not a hockey fan, but I am a fan of sports games so I picked this up.
