NHL 09 News

Whoa! Thanks KingsNate. That would be so damn awesome. I can see a huge problem though if people lag out or disconnect... or find a way to cheat. =\

That's pretty freakin' cool.

Thank you Nate!

I'm so gonna get relegated, I can never stop the dude who crosses the crease and rips a backhander.

Let's just hope these cheap goals are taken out of the game.

I hate playing people do it over and over. Cross the blue line in NHL 08, towards the middle area between the face off circle and the blue line, those wrist shots almost always go in.

The main problem with video games is that people exploit things that work. And as lame as it sounds, those "wins" mean a lot for kids and no life teens/adults because it boosts their online ego.

I just hope there are less of the cheap stuff, as EA can somehow make it so you have to find different ways to score before reverting back to the same shot that worked.

That is why I stopped playing online, I was tired of that type of play. My win % was around 33. Also there should be an option online for ties, I get tired of playing shootout rounds that last 30 players.

No such thing as a cheap goal w/ manual goalie control in the 16bit days. (Long live NHL94!!!). Oh how I miss the feeling of making a save against another player that I KNOW my CPU goalie wouldn't have. I swear ever since the jump to 32bit taking control of your goalie actually HURTS your chances of stopping the puck...there's no incentive to take control of your own goalie.

I know that got a bit off topic but I just had to rant. I feel better now.

Anyone know if the PC users are getting a little next-gen love this time?

And, no, I won't buy a console just for this game, so please spare me your comments. :3smile:

The PC version is always developed by a different branch of EA. So pretty much, no.
