I am not sure why you're so mad though. I clearly state that you should not buy the game if you own NHL 14 and for this exact reason I state that that makes NHL games hard to review - do you review it based on last year, or just as a stand alone?
Considering I was upfront enough to mention both these caveats, I think you're being a little harsh. However, I stand by my assessment that the game is a masterpiece, as the only real thing you could say is wrong with it is that it doesn't change enough from last year. Yes, it's a rip off if you shell out 70 bucks for last years game, but I mention this several times. If, however, you just review it as a hockey game -it is amazing. Credit to EA even for not changing things for the sake of it. The graphics for a PS3 title couldn't be better and neither could the gameplay. Serious question: if it isn't a nearly perfect game, what would change or improve?
I've been playing these games for 20 years and this is the best of a series that has basically perfected itself on each new platform throughout the years. I 100% agree with you that it's only a slight upgrade over last year's title, but ultimately, that's not the way I chose to review the game.
Still, thanks for reading and interacting. Even if you would fire me, it's all good.
