is NHL 09? I can't believe the level of awesome EA's game turned out to be this year.
I was hoping the new blood at Visual Concepts taking over 2K's iteration would inject some life and new ideas into their fledgling series, but all we got were fmv videos projected onto the ice and being able to drive the Zamboni.
Be A Pro mode really changes how you think and play hockey. Unless you've played the sport in real life, you find yourself being tasked to play your position being a good teammate and not some puck hogging douche. Add to that the line changes and trying to figure out when is the best time to switch up without crippling your offense and defense.
I started a career last night with the Manitoba Moose. Did pretty good in my first couple of games. What I really want to do is start an online team with my friends up in Canada and see how that goes with that online MMO mode.
I think right now Maliabu is the only dude playing the game right now. If you like hockey go out and buy it or give it a rent.
