The puck stops here! Strap on your helmet and cinch up your skates because this is ice hockey, not nice hockey, a fast and furious all-out assault on your senses, where breakaways are met with bone-quaking body checks and the five hole looks more like a buttonhole. Skate faster, stop quicker, line it up, and let it fly - this is the ultimate in breakneck, blistering sports action. • Smarter Skaters - Teammates break to the slot when you're blazing up the wing and cover for players out of position on D. • Tougher Goalies - Stingy goalies make these opponents tougher to beat. • Five Minute Major Penalties • New Moves and More Ways to Score - One-time passing, give and go, and the Spin-O-Rama. • All-New Sound Effects and Music - Pucks clanging off the post, chanting crowds, and the rocking sports anthem "Get Ready For This." • Elaborate On-Ice Stanley Cup Ceremony - If you want to see the ceremony, you have to win the Cup. • Power Play Offense, Penalty Kill Defense - Players spread out and set up in position. • The Spin-O-Rama - Freeze the goalie with the ultimate deke. • Bone-Quaking Body Checks - Swipe the puck from a sitting Duck. • Extended Stays in the Penalty Box - 5 minute majors and 4 minute double minors. • Updated Teams and Players - You control your destiny - pick your team, pull the trigger on a trade, or put yourself at center ice.
