The current NHL series terrible, how about 2K?

Oh ok....then, best of both worlds. Personally, I just play playoff formats (both NHL and International type w/ NHL teams) and with the combination of sliders/settings and my "house rules" for myself, I still have fantastic games. Some of the goals by the CPU, the patience they show, the set-ups, is still incredible by and large.

My only 2 gripes with the game is that the CPU goalies don't eat the puck enough and pass out in unrealistic situations and the defenders in general play too high. I need to experiment with defensemen attributes again.

Hmm I'm not having an issue with them not freezing the puck but I have lowered the goalie freeze puck threshold to stop anything like that. Next time I'm on I'll check what I've got it at and we can see how it compares. You're right with regard to house rules, it's def the way to help keep it sim.
Have you made any new house rules lately?
