REALISTIC HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Junior, College, and European leagues in historical games have been significantly fleshed out, so young players will no longer just be free agents before they're signed or drafted, and the Sponsorship/Affiliate system that was used by the NHL up until the 1960's is now simulated as well.

IMPROVED 2D MODE The 2D game system has undergone many changes to improve player behaviour, animation, and statistical output, and received some new graphics and animations.
