I'm loving the patch. The penalties are a little much some of the time, but overall I love how it affects gameplay. Have played lots of bap online and some ranked games... all were great as opposed to before when I just quit trying to play online. Their seems to still be that one weird glitchy goal around the circles, but its not to bad if you are defending it.

Re: NHL 09 360 Patch #2 Online -- Impressions
Hey guys. Played a game post-patch using QB's rosters. Wanted to show you guys a couple of goals to get your opinion. The first is a dangle with Zherdev. I don't really have a rhyme or reason to the dekes, but they worked! Second I meant to dump it in, but it hit Montador and careened to Callahan. Cheese or legit?

Re: NHL 09 360 Patch #2 Online -- Impressions
Second goal seemed legit to me, even it a bit lucky. Definately not cheese as it was not intentional really.Comment

Re: NHL 09 360 Patch #2 Online -- Impressions
now im playing much 1v1 online, i still find some gripes after the patch. and they are:
1. goalie cant cover the puck - when there is a loose puck, how come they dont cover it up? likewise that puck that seems "stuck" in his skate no reaction.
2. as you change your lines - it seems the AI (yours) so slow to react or they changed even you're not telling them to change.
3. the change line buttons - seems sluggish to me. i dont know about you guys.
so far these are my observations.Comment

Re: NHL 09 360 Patch #2 Online -- Impressions
i hope redshirt is reading so he could relay to his buddies @ EA. i dont expect this would be answered with another patch (but it would be great if they could do this for the last patch). but hopefully these 3 will not be present in 2010.Comment

Re: NHL 09 360 Patch #2 Online -- Impressions
One more question for you guys; do your quick plays reset automatically? I like to use the "Aggressive" offensive strategy but it always seems to reset to "Standard" when I change lines or cycle through the menu. Do you have to set them for each line? Does each line have a different default quick play strategy?New Jersey Devils- 1995, 2000, 2003

Re: NHL 09 360 Patch #2 Online -- Impressions
There are some things you can do with the stick prior to shooting that put some extra oomph on the shot (usually at the expense of accuracy) or seem to confuse the goalie, but they're much closer to legitimate moves than the swoop across the high slot, drag the puck back behind you, then shoot across the grain to the top corner "curve shot" that was nearly an automatic goal if executed correctly. The latter is the one I'm saying I haven't seen.Comment

Re: NHL 09 360 Patch #2 Online -- Impressions
Is that the one where you whip the puck with a wrister from the high slot and go glove side high on the goalie? That was a pretty deadly shot in '08 but since the 2nd patch, I haven't seen anyone pull it off.New Jersey Devils- 1995, 2000, 2003
