i loved creating my friends and others and doing season mode in the OHL more than many modes i've played in NHL games. but the gameplay is still lacking and hard to adjust sliders for. i liked a lot of the updates to the UI in GM/Season etc. still wanna play be a pro or whatever

Decent game. Hard to score in this game till you master the one timers and top corner shots in this game then it's easy to score. It's a good game if you are good in hockey games. If not I recommend you play the ones on the Genesis to then come play this one. I feel this one or series on the newer gen is more for hardcore fans and not casuals.

So here's the thing about NHL 18: it's the best sports game ever made, don't @ me. Let me put it another way: remove THREES, remove Be-A-Pro, remove Hockey Ultimate Team - remove everything about the game except Franchise Mode - and it's still the best sports game ever made. The team builder in me immediately fell in love with the amount of choice you have in Franchise Mode - from the hyper-realistic, to the fantasy, to the 31-team expansion, to the 32-team expansion. It's everything I wanted.
