There’s pretty much no denying the fact that over the last three years, EA has taken over the world of video game hockey, leaving 2K Sports far behind.  The NHL series has advanced far beyond the NHL 2K series in terms of gameplay, visuals, presentation, content, and realism in each of the last three years.  In fact, many would argue that 2K’s hockey effort from last year can’t match up to EA’s release from three years ago.  Despite the market domination, 2K continues to chug along, producing one sub-par hockey game after another, and this year is no different.
