1500 hours, very few bugs compared to FHM, there are some things that you have to limit your self with other wise the game is way to easy. there are a lot of roster packs, however no expansion draft there are rosters with 32 teams all the way up to 36 teams!
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its learning curve is steep, and the game does little hand-holding for newcomers.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visuals are real basic, but it is quite in depth and honestly, this is better than anything EA Sports can manage without a complete rework of NHL Franchise mode, although at least that has expansion-mode I guess.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a nice way to have teenage years for players before porting over to EA NHL, to have a longer narrative.
