If the original NHL Powerplay was a great game with a few flaws those gaps have been more than filled in this edition. Superb 3D polygon graphics are an improvement on the excellent original and developer Radical has added trades and stat tracking. This game is so realistic that the goalie simulations actually mirror the style of the real players with butterfly and stand-up styles as well as settings for their level of aggressiveness (do they stay near the net or tend to wander?). Many sports gamers believe this is the best hockey sim on the market.
