Thanks man.

And of course, like they do EVERY YEAR, ign links these screenshots on their PC page, which will of course make people wonder whether or not the NHL PC game will finally have the next gen graphics engine. Which of course it won't.

Re: NHL 09 Screenshots

Is it just me or does the puck look smaller?

It looks good to me, but I can't comment on it looking smaller. Perhaps you're used to the puck-shadow that you see during gameplay?

Re: NHL 09 Screenshots

I don't know why, but hockey games never really impress me with their graphics. They just aren't on par with the other sports IMO. However, this is still the better looking hockey game to date.

As long as the PS3 version is running at 60 FPS, I will give it a fair look. I liked NHL 08 a lot.

I thought it looked great especially the player faces. Shanahan, Gomez, Jagr and Drury were very accurate. The look of the game looks better than all of the other sports game out in my opinion. Bettter than Madden, All Pro, MLB 2k8 and any other sporst game I have played. Though the tennis game looks pretty great as well.

As for the puck shadow, I never use it and I still thought the puck looked to big. I hate puck Shadows. That is the first thing I turn off when I play. I hope they make the puck look realistically smaller.

I hate the idea, too. But you can't turn it off in NHL 08; only small, medium and large are options...

The reason it looked big too you was because you can't turn it off. You can only make it smaller. 2k you can turn it off.
