I bought NHL 2K3 last weekend... Been playing it a lot but haven't played online too much yet (heard a lot of complaints about network dropouts and cheaters online). The game itself is grea though! But if I go online, most likely I'll be playing MechAssault..
I thought that the scoring in the game was pretty random and that goalies were artificially made better to compensate for a poor defensive AI. That is, if I crash the net, make a centering pass right in the slot, and deflect it upstairs, the goalie makes a miraculous save. 2 minutes later I take a lame unscreened wrist shot from the top of the circle, the goalie lifts his arm too fast, looks like a douche, and the puck gently floats in.
Note that I've had the same complaint about EA games as well... poor defensive AI is counterbalanced by a ridiculous goalie
