Ok, let's cut to the chase, NHL08 was an over hyped, and for the most part, overrated hockey game. Before you thumbs down me (which you will anyway), let me tell you that NHL08 was and still is a fantastic and good hockey game. Ok, why is it overrated and what does this have to do with with this year's version? Absolutely nothing, better yet, it's better than last year's version because of this year's newly added BAP mode. And it's nice they improved the online game as well as other tweaks for the better. But let's admit, NHL09 is flawed and defitnetly not deserving of these high scores. MLB08 The Show is just as great, and yet didn't get a 9.0 hmmm something fishy here. Don't want to get into details you already know, all I can say is NHL09 is a fantastic game that will appeal to all masses, young, old, ect. Typical EA. It's all good, but there are options, and thank God for that. Bottom line, NHL09 is made for the average video game consumer looking for a fix in hockey. Real hardcore fans should stick with NHL2k9.
