Summary: EA's first hockey game to grace a next-gen system features all 30 NHL teams (including the Wild & Blue Jackets) and emphasizes speed, with the "big hit," "deke" and "speed burst" buttons making their return along with such precise adjustable factors as pass speed, shot accuracy, puck elasticity, and puck friction (?!?).
