Love the game it’s just each time sometimes I put it in the net the game just freezes with the glove and the stick striker players just on freeze hope they can improve

### 3/5 — Great but work

*2026-06-23, version 2.4*

The game is fun there is playoffs and a season but when you are playing there is no passing and the goalie is only the glove I think it should be passing and a full goalie

This hockey game is ok but the way move is bad you have to tilt your screen to move and the only way you can defend your goal is a glove but other then that it’s a good game
