4

5

i cant wait for this, i never bought 08 because this is coming out soo soon.

6

Defensive skill stick… im in.

This game looks amazing. I was excited for Madden but a good hockey game > Madden any day.

7

I wonder how it will be for the computer this year. Last year it sucked compaired to the systems.

8

maybe this year the other teams will change lines

9

NHL 09 got pushed back to 9-11-08 according to EA’s website

10

i keep hearing its the 9th but all the ads say 11th.

downloaded the demo for 360, lift stick is awesome! cant wait to buy it

11

I might have to buy a Xbox contorller for my PC for this.

12

only thing that i am curious about after reading some reviews is the be a star mode. I guess you have to control only one player, including make line changes and the like. Does this mean you sit and watch for 3/4ths of the game?

13

No, Be a Pro mode doesnt make you sit 3/4th of the game. basically you are rated on how WELL you play on that.

and i would be in for the team NYspeed online.

14

if you get a penalty in the “be a pro mode” then you will watch from the side

15

is this correct?

Or is it more like EA’s “Superstar” gameplay in the Madden series?

16

yes u manage your own line changes and shit, so u do sit a bit.

17

There is a demo for this on xbox live. I tried it out last night. Took forever to download but worth it if you want to see what be a pro mode has to offer. Basically the graphics are very similar to 08 but the gameplay is way better. One handed dekes,better hitting, more realistic gameplay, and the be a pro mode is nice. In the demo you control only zetterberg and when u have the puck carrying it in the camera kinda follows you like in the shootout but not as bad. I didnt get a penalty or sit b/c line changes were off so idk what happens in those cases. Overall i would give the demo a 9. 2k9 demo is on there too, but i didnt play that yet. Never a huge fan of 2k series. EA > 2K

18

finally played the demo. i def like it a lot.

19

get faster internet…took me 10 minutes to download using TW

20

the 2k9 demo is terrible :said like john madden: nhl 09 def blows it out of the water once again…
