Must buy anything hockey related." People who haven't lived in Ontario/Quebec (and to a lesser extent Illinois/Michigan/Minnesota) don't recognize how insanely popular hockey is among a fairly decent-sized group of people. (Enough for it to chart in the month of October, not enough to be on the top 20-30 for the year.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying those who buy the game year after year say the game EA brings out is awful, this year included. And I find that humorous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
