"Be A Pro"... about time! I've been waiting for this mode ever since the "superstar" mode was interduced in madden.

Thats great for you , cause you like this type of thing but what about offline gamers ??? Hey EA what happened to playoff and season mode control all teams basic functions which were basic functions on last gen.
I know EA thinks if they keep neglecting these basic options people will be forced to play online only. Littman even says its all about online which is fine but dont ignore the offline players too . You see if theres no replay value offline people will eventually try online who normally wouldnt try it.
They need body for this online Pro ...... young ,old anything with a warm body lol as that is the future and the best way to bulid sales.

Does anyone know if the Be a Pro view mode will be available as a standard camera view for a regular game -- as in FIFA 08?

OK, we get it. Your numerous posts on this have made your feelings abundantly clear.

be a pro mode is for offline and online. i don't play much online....like ever, that's why i am so excited for it.

Be A Pro—NHL 09 will put you on the ice with a dynamic new 3rd person camera as you play the role of one player on a team. Our Performance Tracker will rate your play in over 60 (confirm) categories, both online and offline, to make sure you know what parts of your game need to improve.

Offline--Be A Pro starts your career off in the ranks of the AHL and challenges you to become one of the best in the NHL. Your very own hockey card will mark your progress, from your rookie beginnings to a potentially legendary ending.
