Virtual hockey sims are getting smarter, with this year's editon of NHL hockey. New features include "True Performance Skating" which is supported by a new A.I. system called EA SPORTS Hockey I.Q. which together act to "accurately capture the speed, creativity and strategy of NHL hockey." Other features include a social play option that lets you play with friends online (who also own a copy of the game), NHL Moments Live (rewrite or relive history as you replay famous hockey highlights), and the ability to create your own NHL dream team. This title will launch at the start of the hockey season.
