Re: 10 days until release - are you buying it?

The beta impressed me more than anticipated for sure. I was surprised that they actually managed to make it feel different to get around the ice, finally. I went back to 18 during the beta to compare and lasted about half a period.

Having said that, I still don't have high hopes that the game will keep my attention for long, as I'm sure old issues will still creep up. I'm dying for an alternative option, but I simply can't go without a hockey game each season. Barring a couple years in high school where I didn't really play video games, I've always had it.

Who argue will buy. An old saying. Probably therefore the game will not be much better next years too.

Already pre-ordered....can't wait....wahoo...going to load my NHL 18 sliders and start a franchise to see how they work on 19. Will most likely have to tweak them somewhat...debating on changing attributes...can't see Price being so high...geez...

Wouldn't take up much room either
That should be in but EA abondened us offline gamers long ago. If they can’t use in cash cow HUT “it ain’t in the game”.....

I have no urge to buy it this year. It’s been on and off since the strike year. I’ll be busy with the move and settling into a new house anyways. So it looks like a no go unless the feedbacks impresses me, then who knows. But no plans on buying it as of now. I’ve always been a hardcore hockey fan, got game every year. But it looks like The Show has stolen me away the past 2-3 years.

Will buy. Money’s not a factor because I always get a good 50-100 hours out of these games even if I’m not smitten with it. Just a nice way to kill 45 minutes on cold winter nights. Not every game needs to be the best thing ever for me to buy it.

I’ll wait for impressions, but will most likely wait til Christmas when it’s half price if not lower.
