I like 2K better. This game is fun and even though they basically copied the EA control scheme, thats good becuz EAs was better.
There are sick signature moves and the game is more realistic feeling than last year. The face off system is WAAAAY better than EA and you can actually check people without having to skate from halfway across the ice.
The graphics are definitely not as good as EAs, and the AI is slighty worse (people overrate EA AI, you can basically score in EA by skating backward, centering yourself on the ice and shooting to a top corner every time, plus CPU EA AI isnt nearly aggressive enough at times). But i think this game feels more like you're playing hockey (the physicality of the game really comes through against the boards and on face offs). I think they also have classic teams and they definitely have classic unis, something that EA doesnt have and it adds to the game.
I mean most people seem to disagree with me and like EA better, but I just wanted people to know that it is possible to like 2k better. The game is mad fun, but you should rent both before you buy because although its not even close to better in every way, I really do think this game is better in a lot of ways.
