With new five-man motion capture technology, utilize the entire ice surface by simultaneously controlling players without the puck.

Features:

• Open Ice Control--Seamlessly switch between players with or without the puck, call for passes, tell a teammate to shoot, set up a vicious one-timer, or call for a defensive double team on the fly with the push of a button.
• Total Player Awareness--With more player awareness than ever before, make saucer passes just before the blueline, call in a second defender to break up a 2-on-1, or fire off wrist shots at the perfect angle on net.
• Face-Off Playbook--New playcalling system allows you to choose offensive and defensive face-off strategies every time the whistle blows. Plan an attack in your opponent's zone or protect the net right before the puck drops.
• The World Cup of Hockey--Take part in the excitement of this year's World Cup of Hockey event featuring teams from USA, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Russia, Czech Republic, and Slovakia playing in authentic European and North American venues.
• All-New Skating Engine--Glide then use explosive speed to get to the open ice-now you have more puckhandling and turning control. A refined backwards skating system also allows for unprecedented defensive precision and control.
• The Drill--The intensity explodes off the ice with The Drill: One net, one goalie, and every man for himself. Up to four can play and the one who scores the most goals wins.
