Uses your GPU to Mine Crypto, or its so poorly optimized.

10/10 might not be the best game but its really just the best

Its kinda in the middle. if you like watching hockey with a bit of playing sprinkled in, you'd like it. i just so happen to be like that.

Purchased this game yesterday because I like hockey games and this seemed pretty alright for the price. For starters, you can't full screen the game which is weird, the game is buggy and the helmet was improperly coded so it doesn't move with your character. I hopped into a match, and here's what a game looked like: 3 periods, 5 minutes a period. Period 1: Sat on the bench until the last 37s, got one shot off. Period 2: Sat on the bench until the last 27s, lost face-off and the ball went outside the rink, and it took 19 seconds for the game to say the ball was out of play, and basically nothing happened with the 8 SECONDS i had to play. Period 3: Sat on the bench the full period. NO ICE TIME AT ALL! Now let me explain for a second, that I was indeed on the last line, which it does state gets 1 min to end of period ice time. But why would I be on the third line if the game states that I am a franchise elite player??? It almost feels like the developer is for some reason, prioritizing the AI over his own players! I will say, the team management stuff is the only positive about this game. Other than that, a heaping pile of garbage. Very disappointed.

Summary: I've got to say this is a promising game but it lacks a lot of things. this game lacks controller support for those who love to play with a controller. I would love the developers to add controller controls there. Player ice time is inconsistent. the gameplay is rag dolly in a sense. this game lacks the ability to customize the teams to our liking like some would love to play with real NHL teams and customize competitions i.e. workshop aspect. another gripe i have is the inability to play this game full screen to the point full-screen does not work. this game is something good if more work is done to it. the devs should improve on this game and fix the issues and add extra features. overall score: 5.5/10 game play: 4/10 core:2/10 loop: 1/10 visuals: 5/10 pros: price is good compared to the quality of the product. decent visuals connected franchise starting with player free form game play cons: no controller support no workshop content to customize and upload teams lack of extra competitions and features ice time for career mode career mode should also include transition to gm or coach if the player retires rag doll mechanics in game play goalie movement is average at best

I swear on everything i own this deadass is the absolute worst game ive ever played in my life n ive played bad games before but this is crazy how the fuck do u drop a game like this wtffff

As you can see from the previews, the graphics are very primitive. What you don't see in the preview is that this game defies the laws of physics - moving your stick will randomly send it to the rafters. I did a deke and my player left his helmet behind, suspended in midair. Skating through the boards to retrieve the puck from the players' bench is also an "unexpected delight." Speaking of skating, there is no momentum; it may as well be walking. The AI players perform like drunken toddlers, randomly passing the puck to no one in particular. Stick-checking is not a quick, effective movement - your player will hold his stick in front of his body for a full four seconds. The most frustrating part of the game is the amount of time spent waiting. When you start a game, you have to wait about a full minute for pre-game announcements to finish (e.g. "Tonight's game is between Team A and Team B" and "it should be a good game"). After every stoppage in play, you have to wait for some sleazy music that must have been ripped from an Italian porn film in the 1980s to finish. I tried being a goaltender, and despite being the highest-rated goalie on the team, I was assigned backup duties - which involved sitting through this whole ordeal and doing nothing. As a skater, you will only play 2/5 minutes in each period, having to wait through the rest of the game, stoppage music and all. Speaking of music, you can't reduce the volume or turn it off, so your neighbours in the next apartment will suspect that you are an Italian pervert with a mullet. However, the game does have its charms. There are 30 different fictional teams, each one having its own unique arena music and goal songs. I signed up with the Orange County Mighty Dolans (none of the other teams are quite so hilarious) and was serenaded by Shawn Mendes each time I scored at home. I can't deny that there was a rush of endorphins each time I lit the lamp for the Mighty Dolans; but I had enough time to watch an Italian movie while my player was glued to the bench for the other 60% of the game. Overall, the game feels very much like a rough draft. If the developer could put half as much effort into smooth hockey gameplay as it did into the music selection, this would be a lot more enjoyable.
