NHL 09 Hands-On Preview

[ChaseB]

I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't let a few negative things that I say tarnish an overall impressive game -- at least from what I've played so far.

Sounds good and now with being able to swing your stick down on d you can block this pass or at least interfere with it.

The goalies need an AI boost to poke away that pass most of the time.

Hopefully the goalies are just tougher in general as id love to have tons of trouble scoring goals without substsained pressure...

Lets hear about the PP and the PK??

To say the least.
His statement only proves that he hasn't played an EA hockey game in quite some time.
I'll fully admit that a lot of their games on last-gen have felt the same.
But in my opinion, NHL2004, NHL07 and NHL08 have felt so different from previous games, you can tell they were developed by a different crew.

You'll come to understand Teebs humor in time. He and I played NHL a bunch this year actually, he just tries to toy with people when he thinks they're being ridiculous about stuff -- aka getting down on a game after one or two negative things were said.

I'm still playing 2k7 and really enjoy that game, but I must admit that NHL 09 has me intrigued. I tried 08 last year and liked the feel of the controls, but never made the purchase.
