Ladies and gents, say hello to the greatest mode to ever grace a sports game, courtesy of EA Sports Vancouver. I haven't bought a hockey game since the Sega Genesis (Sega's NHL 94), but this baby is sold.

Can you imagine if this catches on? MMO football, baseball, basketball, ect? Say hello to the future of sports games. I'm so proud of EA on this one.

Cool idea but I'm betting this fails, for the first year at least. First off this is EA, who haven't put out a good sports title in around 5 years. Whenever EA adds a new mode it blows...you gotta give it a couple years. Plus this is unlike any other new mode, so that scares me. What also scares me is playing with a bunch of 12 year olds you won't ever pass. Gameplay will be far from sim.

I'm intrigued.
