nope not free, $15 it's really not that big of a deal.

So far I stink but it's not bad. It is fun. I played 2-3 games offline and 1 game online. I was prompted to download rosters when I went online which surpised me. I am trying to get used to it. There is no season mode or anything so I think the fun will be online or offline with friends. I will post more once I play more.

Totally on topic.

Thanks to ezio and FF for their quick impressions. I assumed this game would be fun, akin to NHL Arcade...perfect for a quick pick-up and play when you have some free time. Unfortunately I have other things much higher on my 'to buy' list than this, but I'm sure I'll grab it sometime.
