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?

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.

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

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
