Nhl 09

Football fans get their national skip day from work in August, but us hockey fans get it in September when EA puts out their annual hockey game. Only played a couple games so far, but it is awesome. "Be a pro" is easily the coolest thing added to the NHL series in a long time.

there is a feature on this years game where you can play with "NHL 94" controls, and that can't be too hard at all

I haven't gotten a NHL game in years. I think the last one I got was like '98 on PC or something.

Anyways, I'm thinking about getting this on PS3 as the reviews look great!

Will probably pick it up next weekend.

Is it out for Ps2 or just the current-gen consoles. EA's been pretty good at releasing all versions of a game at once, but I haven't seen PS2 listed anywhere and everywhere I've seen on the web gives a release date of mid Oct. after the season's already begun.

i'm getting it tomorrow for ps3.
You are right about the be a pro addition, it's amazing!
You can also create online teams with up to 50 people on a team which is pretty cool aswell.
And about the ps2 version, everything i've read says it doesn't come out till october

I just played two games with a league from OperationSports.com. I got stuck playing defense both games even though I'm technically a winger and had an assist on a shorthanded goal.

But that was it for the highlights. We lost 3-2 and 4-0.

I can see myself wasting a lot of time with this because as someone said before, this is the coolest thing to be added to hockey game in a LONG time.

I saw you were online last night as soon as I fired up the game.

I love it....graphics, presentation, controls....beaplayer is awesome. I am sure it may get old, but I like watching from the bench waiting for my shift or watching from the penalty box.
I am a LW grinder on the Wolfpack, got my first goal in the third game, but sadly, that is the only goal our team has scored in 3 games. We are 0-2-1.
I didn't want to turn it off. Controlling only one player takes getting used to as it's hard to position yourself and watch the play at the same time. matter of getting used to though.

edit: I wonder what happens if you get injured?

getting it a noon today for PS3!

can't wait!

I cannot find this game anywhere. It looks damn good. I had NHL 08 and it was the first hockey game that I deemed (dare I say) more fun then NHL 94. If anyone is starting an online team, let me know.

I was actually on my PSP last night (remote play). I'm on the road for work and I can log onto the PSN (and my PS3) via my PSP. I have the PS Eye and I was checking in on my cat (lol, yeah I know it's lame but it's a cool feature).

It sounds like a cool game, so I'll probably pick it up this weekend and we'll have to play.
