The only thing that bugs is that the offside calls don’t make sense (mind you I'm 11 and play hockey as a goalie) I feel like they just pass out offside calls to be annoying. The calls don’t match game. ### 1/5 — Rigged so you can’t win !!!! *2023-02-23, version 1.6.4* Don’t waste your time. Level 9 is rigged so you can’t win. In the rivals portion of the game. You press your controls and nothing happens! You can’t hardly get a shot on goal! Always hitting the posts!! Shame on whoever puts this crap out!!! Other team is much faster and always knocks you off the puck. Whoever heard of an icing when past the center line!! Ridiculous!!!!! ### 5/5 — Hokey *2023-01-23, version 1.6.4* It works very well. It can be a bit confusing, but it works. There are many teams you feel like playing real hockey. ### 5/5 — Most Excellent *2022-09-06, version 1.6.4* What a play, controls are right on. To passing to a one timer and a break out. Plus defense is perfect. Cross checking, to a full blown check. This is the game you need to play. So Just Do It! ### 2/5 — Phooey *2022-08-24, version 1.6.4* Lives that take FOREVER to get so you can play? Stupid. Also, it becomes impossible to win. If you want to be frustrated and have a game that’s only purpose is to take up storage space, this game is for you. On the other hand, it doesn’t have horrible gameplay. ### 4/5 — A great game but… *2022-07-02, version 1.6.4* This is a great game a fun game to play but you need to fix the bugs in this game. Every time i get the puck and pass it it do not work I every time I see my thumb when I’m press pass but it do not work ### 5/5 — Love it a lot *2022-06-16, version 1.6.4* Thank you for inventing this I love hockey I want to play in the NHL when I’m 18 years old I’m gonna be a goalie thank you for inventing This game Thank you for letting me score goals game I love it ### 5/5 — This game is great! *2022-03-02, version 1.6.4* I’m a hockey fan so this game is great! U should get it! I play it almost every day because it’s one of the best hockey games. One thing tho. Why are we not able to pick our teams? ### 1/5 — Rigged *2022-02-21, version 1.6.4* The game literally scores on you every shot, but if you dangle and shoot from three feet away you get stopped. And also you get penalties for the dumbest things. I get penalties for stick checking but the game will smash me from behind and nothing is called. Also the game player will be five feet away from me and somehow get the puck from me but I will stick check when I’m on top of the other player and I won’t even effect them. And whenever I go for the check my player will always miss. The other players can also skate right through your whole team with the puck but I don’t even have the option to dangle. And let me know if you’ve ever passed all levels. If you have you’re lying because it’s impossible to pass it. ### 5/5 — To mreta the”girl hockey player” *2022-02-03, version 1.6.4* Bro if u ever made it to the ngl you’d be dead literally the nhl doesn’t allow women because one hit from a male player and you’d be out cold ## Frequently asked questions about Hockey Nations 18 ### What is Hockey Nations 18?
