NHL 09 by EA Sports is the best hockey game out there but does have its weaknesses.
there are many modes that are challenging and fun but the be a pro mode is what seems to be the favorite of all. there is still the normal mode that has you as all the players and that is still fun too.
the game play and animation are vary good in this game. the graphics are good too
in the be a pro mode you start out as your player that you made in the AHL and you don't switch players its just you. and you have to sit on the bench your line comes but while your siting on the bench the coach talks to you and tells you the god things you did or the bad.
but the felling of you not just your team but your player that you made scoring on home ice its an amazing felling. all of the fans cheering its amazing and who has better fans than the Buffalo Sabres!
the online multilayer is a good feature to. that you can have a hole teem that is really players is amazing.
but the fans and the crowds are horrible have you ever played the sims one cuz that's what they look like AKA really bad
