Too bad they didn't update the 5 on 5 play much from what that review says. I prefer playing normal style, not this Be a Pro BS.

Hater in the house.

Not a hater at all, I've been playing the NHL series for 16 years. (Back when you could have blood on the ice) Be a Pro isn't my thing.

Sounds like you started the same time as me (NHLPA 93 FTW).

You don't think BAP is worth a shot? I find the demo BAP gameplay entertaining enough...though certainly not mind blowing. I'm expecting about 90 percent of the fun to come from the fact that you're playing as your own created character on a team comprised of friends.

Willing to give BAP a shot, I just am hoping the online play is much better. No ability to 2 on 1 on someone in online play after a one on one match is agreed to. (usually the players suck ass, but it ruins any fun when idiot team goes offside almost every play)

CT is just mad they don't make Open Ice for the 360. ;)

Be sure to check out the video review too. You get to see a little more of the Be A Pro mode than in previous videos.

Open Ice....man that brings back some memories of going to the Golfland on Beach Blvd. and dumping quarters into that thing.

Totally. That game was brutal on 26 year old's pocketbook while going to school.

When it hit the Playstation, I was in heaven.

I also thought it was great for the PS3 folks that EA improved the game enough for them to give 09 the same score on both platforms.
