fixing the franchise mode and upgrading the presentation will be enough for me.

Re: NHL 09: Community Event Recap: 5W-G

for me they should just work on a deeper dynasty much like (2k8) and work on making the defensive controls better more responsive and the goalies are still letting in to many soft goals.

they should not touch the offense its fine. if they do this for me it would be a fantastic game.

Re: NHL 09: Community Event Recap: 5W-G

when chasing the puck as a defenceman, stop skating backward please............ annoying.

yea i agree totally about the offensive side of this game. just improve on the defensive sides (last man back or change to the man you want) and goalie..... to many top shelf goals. this would be perfect.

it owuld be a BIG PLUS if they can improve their chise mode.

Re: NHL 09: Community Event Recap: 5W-G

Wow you lot must like 1 timers in the top corners then, not me, games offense has grown very stale.
I couldnt play 09 if the offensive AI acted the same way as 08 .

I hope they make a lot of changes again as some of the ones they made in 08 like the AI leaning heavily to 1 timer chances which was probly a result of the realy good AI actually and their ability to get open but led to a more frustrating less organic feel than even 07 was.

Jimmy, I thought the same thing. But then I downloaded the latest rosters (March 26th I believe) and used Catch22's Superstar sliders.
The game plays completely different now.

Since doing both, I started a Hawks franchise and in 8 games, I have yet to see a CPU one-timer goal. Lots more variety and it has to do (IMO) because the goalies are human and play more realistically. And the puck has a lot softer bounces making for more goal mouth scrambles.

I tried it, still seemed they cycled until they had a chance to get a 1 timer off or just hit one off the rush.
I can feel the changes but it hasnt changed the ai's mentality im afraid.

That's strange.
In 10+ games, I've yet to see a CPU one-timer goal from the high slot. And I've barely seen them even attempt this kind of goal.

Actually, last night I saw two sweet CPU goals. Even though I pounded on Nashville 5-2, both their goals were nice. On their first one, while on the PP, Ryan Suter won a puck battle along the wall, swooped in from the goalies left, made a quick deke and then while continuing to skate to the right, he fired back to the left over Lalime's shoulder. It was a great individual effort.
On their 2nd goal, Hamhuis fired a shot from the point, which deflected off my defenders pants, off of Radek Bonk's stick and into the net. Sweet.
