ICE-Q 2.0 technology is a welcome addition
Be a Pro overhaul feels more engaging and less repetitive
The soundtrack is easy on the ears with a solid tracklist
Offline HUT mode is a good break for people who don?t like to grind online

Odd physics mishaps can hinder immersion
Limited PC availability means yet again PC players miss out, which has always been an issue for the franchise
Still lingering Legacy AI issues that cause frustrating moments on the ice

The franchise seems a bit outdated and too focused on the menus.
Faces here and there too frozen, just like the movements of the spectators in the stands.
Many optimizations mainly for NHL enthusiasts.
Being a professional could be even more interactive.
