    there are a few improvements to the game, like the movements of the players and the fighting, but there are also a few confusing features to the game (confusing as in: why’d they put that in there?). The crowd sounds sound extremely similar to that of an NCAA college basketball game, which just seems like a lazy move by the creators of the game. I know it’s hard to design video games in this day and age, especially since kids are used to mainstream video games with high quality graphics. Nonetheless, they could have made more of an effort to make the little things, like the crowd noise, exceptional. The helmets are different from the last NLL game as well, they added the outdoor helmets, which could also be considered a lazy move. I’m not bashing this game, i’m simply stating features the could have improved or made more of an effort towards improving them. Overall, the game has improved since the last NLL game, and the graphics are much better. This game is another stepping stone to a high quality lacrosse video game.
