thelastonealive Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 NHL 09 Official Website Does the NHL series work like the Madden series, where the guy on the cover is basically fvcked for the rest of his career (or at least a year or two)?

Eltab213 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Does the NHL series work like the Madden series, where the guy on the cover is basically fvcked for the rest of his career (or at least a year or two)? NHL 98 - Forsberg NHL 99 - Lindros NHL 00 - Pronger NHL 01 - Nolan NHL 02 - Mario Lemieux NHL 03 - Iginla NHL 04 - Heatley NHL 05 - Naslund NHL 06 - Lecavalier NHL 07 - Ovechkin NHL 08 - Eric Staal Aside from Heatleys appearance on NHL 04 (the season he had his car accident) the NHL series has been relativly curse-free.

Satans Hockey Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Does the NHL series work like the Madden series, where the guy on the cover is basically fvcked for the rest of his career (or at least a year or two)? Not really. 08 - Staal 07 - Ovechkin 06 - Lecavalier 05 - Naslund 04 - Heatley than he was taking off due to the accident and Sakic replaced him 03 - Iginla 02 - Mario Lemieux 01 - Owen Nolan 00 - Chris Pronger 99 - Eric Lindros 98 - Peter Forsberg 97 - John Vanbiesbrouck 96 - Steve Yzerman and Scott Stevens I think its safe to say that is a pretty good list of players. No one on there has had a bad career so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils Pride 26 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I heard they added a superstar mode, like they have in Madden. Where you start as a draft pick and work your way up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisis Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Anyone else feel that last climactic goal was pretty weak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elias2600 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 yeah, i think their editor slowed it down so the average person could see the puck. Regardless, pretty weak. In real life that goal doesn't go in on the ice like that. Still... awesome that Phaneuf is the cover athelete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeesjetsfan Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Wish Marty would have made the cover just once. I'll be picking this up when it hits the shelves although I suck at video games. I'm good at NHL 07 on my PSP, but suck at 08 on my xbox 360. Graphics are killer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elias2600 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Maybe marty will get some cover action after this season when he captures #1 in wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elias2600 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 dont expect it to be tons different, just more polished with more features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squishyx Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 '08 left a lot to be desired hopefully they can plug some wholes this year. Be a pro feature looks neat but dynasty mode is just down right awful and needs another overhaul with people who not only watch hockey but will bother testing.

SatansDevils Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Maybe the cover jinx of players getting injured and being on the front cover of these games will end this coming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banzai Riley Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Still... awesome that Phaneuf is the cover athelete. Rather have Elisha. Anyone remember NHL Hitz 20-02? Stevens on the cover, ridiculous stats... man, I was a God at that game. Then the next one came out and had so many damn glitches but rather than fix them all, they ended the series. Haven't owned an NHL game since. Probably won't again cause no one seems interested in bringing one to the Wii. Now I want to play Hitz, though I need to find it. That'll take days. Ugh.

I actually JUST bought NHL Hitz 02 for 2 bucks used. Only problem was, it was Hitz 03 in the box. Oh well, two bucks, can't go wrong.
