Fantasy Draft in 09?

[Acid]

Does anyone know if EA included a fantasy draft this year?

Maybe that way I could turn the Kings into Stanley Cup champs.

Pretty sure it's not. You'll have to do it the old-fashioned way...

Damn, looks like a season of mediocrity (if I'm lucky).

I think they might be the kind of team that 'plays up' in the virtual world. You've got Kopitar (who should finally be getting some rating respect), Brown & Frolov as a killer potential first line. Handzus will probably still be way overrated and can anchor the second line. Too bad they'll probably start the year with a few rookies that will either be poorly rated (Purcell, Boyle, Bernier?) or missing (Doughty, Teubert?). They would be a fun team to do a long-term one with if you had all the kids down on the farm...

Or - build a time machine, go back to the Gretzky, McSorley, Robitaille era and enjoy..

While you're at it, build me one so I can enjoy my team when they were good too.. (man, the "drive for 5" now seems so long ago )

Such a great era, they had awesome jerseys too.

I actually have a white Gretzky jersey in my closet, too bad I got it when I was like 6 and it doesn't fit me anymore.

I know your pain. I have a Roenick red 'Hawks jersey I got in 91 or 92 that has been retired. The sleeves only come about halfway down my forearms...

Could someone please explain to me why the hell this would not be included in the game? It's such a basic feature that adds an incredible amount of depth and replay value to the game. I know it wasn't in last years game, but if it's not in this years version it'd be a real shame.
