After taking 3 years off for the same reasons you haven’t been playing, decided to rent this one. And glad I did. These games seem more like remakes with new rosters. That and the video stutters on mine, a problem I don’t have on any ofmy other games. That and the stuff they sell online to add on to this game. I know pretty much all games are going this route, but 25$ for dynasty help– no real add on, seems a lil (by 24.99) over the top to me. So when I return this game I’ll go back to plain 09. Not the greatest from the franchise, but the last one I bought. Really a shame ea can’t get this franchise right. I think they need to involve the guys from there NHL studio. That game has drastic improvements year in and year out.
