Hey everyone, I haven't bought any NHL games since NHL 06, because I don't have a PS3 nor a Xbox 360, and I consider buying a consol soon to play NHL, I was just wondering : has the quality of the game really improved since then? I mean, are the CPU still ********, like : won't accept trading no 30 pick for no 31, 32 & 33 because a 1st worths 10x more than a 2nd, won't accept trading multi picks for one pick, don't care about the team needs in trades (They cared in NHL 2000, but they kinda deleted that, I don't know why, it was great), realistic free agency (you really have to bid, you can't just talk o every guy and get them), no "super good legal staff" that allows you to sign the best FA at 1M/year. Contracts lasting more than 3 years, added waivers options, can look at draft picks for the following year, RFA status/offer sheets. Trades with fair value, more details than ATT, DEF, PHY, PUI and POT in rookie scouting, access to AHL players, minor team/prospects (I think they can't use them if they didn't play 1 game in the NHL, though, there is a rule for that...). I also played NHL 09 with a friend, and it was the same thing as NHL 06 IMO, except that you had "stars" to upgrade instead of money (which I didn't like), etc. As it finally improved or is it still the same game with better graphics? Is the dynasty mode finally realistic? What are the major changes? Thanks.
