I'm on a quest to get an NHL game that runs well on Windows 8.1, has good gameplay, doesn't have any annoying features, and is graphically appealing.I seem to be settling on this one. The announcers are good, the gameplay is good. You can score and they can score on you, so it's competitive in both directions. Graphics are quite good.
