NHL 09 for the pc.....very dissapointed!!

User Rating: 3 | NHL 09 PC
By snapfire | Review Date:
I knew from the beginning that the PC version would not come close to the 360 or PS3 version but I thought for sure it would at least be alot different/better then NHL08 seeing that EA Sports got a whole new team to make NHL. My thoughts were wrong. I actually think that the game play is worse then 08 because its really glitchy (there was a goalie crease in front of the benches) and the graphics are pretty bad. The board adds are all blurry, the jersys graphics are glitchy and i have the screen resolution at its best and all the graphic details at its best and it looks like crap. The goalie equipment isnt fully correct either. Im just so bored of this game play style. It sucks how they didnt upgrade the equipment for when you create a player and new jerseys and/or logos for when you create a team. On a positive side I really like what they have done to the menu, the new colors are nice and i like the moving NHL logo in the background also the music is pretty good.

I heard they are suppose to completly change and upgrade the NHL game for next year (2010) so I hope thats true and they do a good job.

I would say save your money for this one just like the last couple years of EA Sports NHL games.

    EA, has just ripped off it's last remaining hockey followers, because this is just ridiculous. 4 years in a row now, and each of the following game just looks like a modification of the last years. (By modification I mea... Read Full Review
