    Great but not so much improvement from nhl 08

    By ometayer | Review Date: Sep 18, 2008 | X360

    I was expecting this new version for a very long time and the game is great that for sure. But really better than nhl 08 ? if you exclude the new be a pro mode there is not so much new and when, like I do, you prefer ... Read Full Review

    Well lets see now deep dynasty, be a pro mode, create a play, 1 handed dekes what more could a sports agmer ask for in a game? The be a pro mode does have some flaws. Just enough to make it not as good as it could of ... Read Full Review

    Logical evolution of the series, and if they stick to this trend, 2010 will be a 10

    By Andru97 | Review Date: Sep 18, 2008 | X360

    NHL 09 is great. It takes what I think was the best hockey experience I've had to date (I've owned every nhl game since NHLPA 93)in NHL 08 and adds the phenomenally addictive Be A Pro mode. There is absolutely no better ... Read Full Review

    At least two mistakes short of a perfect game.

    By Maagi | Review Date: Sep 18, 2008 | X360

    First of all I have to admit I haven't been around enough to try out EASHL. I've read there has been some sort of statistical issues with it, but since I have no real clue, I'm leaving the whole EASHL out of this. Of ... Read Full Review

    Getting Closer

    By Rastatc | Review Date: Sep 17, 2008 | PS3

    Ok, I won't provide a complete review of a product I haven't played or experienced every entire feature, I always think that is a crock when folks leave one line and rate a game they have'nt looked at entirely or objecti... Read Full Review

    The greatest game on ice!

    By jcross198_basic | Review Date: Sep 17, 2008 | X360

    Being from Pittsburgh, PA the real NHL is tons of fun for me right now and possibly equally as awesome the last 2 years have been the EA NHL 08 and now NHL 09 games. I started buying the EA series in 2007 and each year h... Read Full Review

    Best Hockey Game EVER!!!

    By nickdastick | Review Date: Sep 17, 2008 | X360

    So I was thinking that NHL 08 couldn't really get any better... Boy was I wrong! NHL 09 takes the NHL series to a whole new level! The Be A Pro feature is a blast and being able to play with that character online is awes... Read Full Review

    I play it, but after awhile it gets pretty dull.

    By DantheMan9856 | Review Date: Sep 17, 2008 | X360

    I wanted to like this game. Every year I try to like the EA NHL series but I just wind up putting it away for awhile. Certain things stand out to me with this game that I just hate. The puck physics are not good. The ... Read Full Review

    Most fun I've had with a hockey game since NHL97-98.

    By Leems | Review Date: Sep 17, 2008 | X360

    Since 1994 or so I've approached the upcoming hockey season with the same anticipation as a kid approaching Christmas. I knew some years there'd be the bike I'd always wanted and other years there'd be the socks and swea... Read Full Review
