Great Graphics, challenging AI, and awesome goals. What more can sports fans ask for?
I guess I can ask for a coach. Seriously this game will embarrass you a little bit off the get-go, if you are not ready for it. The gameplay is similar but refined to a point where the AI is actually competent, and you... Read Full Review

There are more bad sides than improvements from last year version.
I'm disappointed of this year's game. I was expecting a lot more since '08 version had a lot to offer, I told myself that this year we were going to get a game close to perfection if they take care of what was missing or... Read Full Review

Best sports game ever? Yeah, I think so!
This game is all about EASHL. If you want to get the most out of it, join/create a team. Very unique game experience. Graphics are killer, gameplay is amazing. There are noticeable bugs/glitches though currently wi... Read Full Review

Fantastic game, but a couple of technical issues prevent this from being the best NHL game ever.
NHL 09's gameplay surpasses previous iterations of the series by focusing on the "Be A Pro" aspect of NHL hockey, putting you in the skates of an "up and coming" superstar. You build your player from the depths of the fa... Read Full Review

This game has it all!
I have been a big fan of EA's NHL series for a long time. I love to make a player in my likeness and play in the NHL and school the goalie with a nice deke. The one thing that always bothered me was the fact that from th... Read Full Review

Best NHL game since 94...wait was NHL 94 even that great..Best NHL game ever!
Sure NHL 94 was cool at the time..but I honestly wouldn't touch that game today, or 5 years ago for that matter. So to the point at hand, NHL 09. This game adds some huge improvements in longevity with the new Be A P... Read Full Review

it's a fun game, but it's not hockey. not even close
NHL 09 is similar to 08 in many ways, but better in others, and worse in even others. the new deke is a fun addition, and an improved defensive skill stick helps a bit, but they are not quite as effective as they coul... Read Full Review

NHL 09: Sports games meet RPG.
NHL 09 is hands down the best hockey (or sports game) i have played. If you were like me, a person skeptical about buying this game because you thought it was going to be just like nhl 08 but with updated rosters, you ar... Read Full Review
