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

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.

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 🙂

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.
