NHL 09: When a Man Loves a Patch

[MattyAction]

it still exists sometimes, because it can actually happen in a game sometimes. I'm fine with the drag shot working sometimes. People cant expect that shot to never work. That wouldnt be realistic.

lol, nice title. Your article pretty much sums up my exact experience with NHL 09. On again.. off again.. But I think this most recent patch will keep the cheesers at bay until NHL 10.

The best part about this patch is it comes as close as any sports game to making the users play somewhat realistically. And if they don't.. well, we're all seeing how that working for these guys now. When I play NHL 09 I try and recreate the hockey I watch on TV and go see live. I'm now dominating online versus play since the patch was released. I think I'm like 32 - 2 - 3 post patch 2. I've never been able to dominate online like this with any game, but after patch numero 2 it's coming fairly easy.

I think the patch made the game much more playable than before. It is definitely a great game if you lime video hockey. Great article on the updated patch as well

EA has definately gone above and beyond with their support for this game.

Definitely a deeper franchise mode. Also, why don't they let you know whos in the all-star game? Am I missing something? I had to play it to find out if any of my Blackhawks made it? They should have the voting like Madden. They should also include in franchise a headline feature as well as results from all the days games. Just my 2 cents.
