Anyone played these yet? NHL 09 uses the skill stick again as it was started in Nhl 07… I still don’t like the fact that Nhl 07-09 don’t use the speed burst button anymore as that is why i prefer Nhl 2K9 now… Graphics aren’t as good but controls and gameplay are a bit better than Nhl.
You’re like 5 months behind, 09 is better but still isn’t very good. There are a couple threads about this in the nerd corner
neither is perfect… i prefer 09 but it still annoys the shit out of me sometimes lol
lol i hate the fact speed burst is gone…cant stand it lol
there is kind of a speedburst…i don’t use it much cause you usually lose the puck, i forget what button it is but they push the puck ahead of them and skate a lil faster without it.
My brother plays this anytime he is not at work/school/sleeping. Apparently he is pretty good at it.
the 2k9 blows ass, i tried them both and the NHL i like more… of course for the 260 though.
Havent tried NHL 2K( completely yet…whats the differences btween them…?
id still rather play nhl06 over both of them 
lol why, that is so out dated
not if you update the rosters via internet
nhl 09 is by far better than nhl2k9. and i like the fact that there is no speed burst in nhl 09, it makes things more balanced. the players that actually are fast, they will be faster than most of the other players. and liking one game over another for the fact that it has speed burst is ridiculous. you must be awful at EA’s version of the game 
lol true, i just cant stand the skill stick
the skill stick isnt hard to get used to at all really, just keep on playing and youll be fine with it. it took me a day or two to get used to it with nhl07
yea it’s not really that hard. if you also switch the camera view to always have you shooting going up (or down if you prefer), it’s easier to play and get used to.
i play down and up >.>
