Yes, but it should say Stanley Cup Final if it is the Pens vs. the Wings.

CU SUCKS!

PROUD TO BE A CSU RAAAAM!!!

This is one of my biggest gripes with NHL09 (and 08).
The CPU isn't a slave to gravity or momentum. They can change directions, on a dime, at full speed.
But you can't even come close to doing that yourself.

It's infuriating when you see a 6th dman go into a corner with a full head of steam only to grab the puck, skate backwards, turn around and then triple deke around you all at top speeds without losing one inch of momentum or speed.

This really needs to be addressed. Your players feel like they have weight to them. But the CPU is operating on a whole different level.

However, I remember seeing early vids of both 08 and 09 where the players looked too 'floaty' and it wasn't the case during the finished product.

I still love that video and I'm excited for NHL10. I just pray they fix some of the quirks that existed in 09. Skating for the CPU being one of them.

And that's really what it is... trying to program it so the AI faces challenges comparable to what a human player does in terms of controller input. I'm curious to see how this affects the new passing mechanics, since user error will undoubtedly occur based on our aim without assist. But how will the AI miss their "manual" passes?

this as well as all of the other new things that ea has pu into the game for this year are great. I really think the board play is going to make it very interesting especially in team games

I still don't like how the players seem to glide along the ice even when they skate, there is a total absence of ice friction....
