NYCdevil Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 did anyone get it yet?? awsome game cleans up a little bit from the 08 and the new features are cool.. couple errors though.. still has elias as captain and has Holik at number 18 meaning no retired jersey for sarge, in the game of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niaure Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Those NHL'** are so easy and boring. On the highest difficulty you win 82 regular games and all playoff games by results about 8-1 , 10-2, 7-0 or higher playing 5 min period with the weakest team available.

oconnellrules Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 its not bad. checking isnt bonecrusher after bonecrusher anymore which is frustrating. theres a bigger reliance on solid d more than a big hit. the lift stick control is a cool new feature and goals are tougher to score. ps - the be a pro mode is a very cool innovation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilNurn Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Well I was pretty disappointed that after I went off to school I no longer had my 360 so I can't get NHL 09, but I have a Wii and am looking forward to next weekend when I can get NHL 2k9...it just looks really fun on the Wii controller.

yankeesjetsfan Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I am looking forward to possibly picking it up next week. I have 08 and enjoyed it alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revan Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 haha. Yeah, he's my hero now too. I think he meant NHL for PC. If so, he's 100% right, cause this game is a total crap and everyone who played more than 20 games should have no problem winning high (really high) against AI.

Is it the full Lowell roster, or is it one of those things where they put in a few real guys and then make up the rest of the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you do Be A Player mode you start out in on your teams AHL affiliate. You start on the 3rd O line or 3rd D pair and have to work your way up through the ranks to hit the big club. It has the full roster. Fedorov is on there even. Edited September 11, 2008 by JesterDevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny, for me, on the AHL team I hated playing on the top line because I felt like Federov and Bergfors were much better helping on offense than Marshall and Pihlman were so it was disappointing to get moved up.

Yeah, I'm a Defensive D man. Played 5 games and moved up to the 2nd line with Malmivaara. Haven't played BAP online yet. Is there a free agent way to play where it gives you a random team? Or do you have to play with only people from your "club"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWomp Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 So do you have to play in that new mode where you're only the one player? Or can you play like you could in the past where you're always the guy with the puck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if u did that its hard to imagine u going 82-0.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilNurn Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 The only thing I wonder about is in these games are there online roster updates that will update throughout the season? It's something I've wondered about since I got NHL 08 last year. I know they won't update the old games (losing them money) but during the title season perhaps?

It's something I've wondered about since I got NHL 08 last year. I know they won't update the old games (losing them money) but during the title season perhaps? Yes. They updated the rosters 4-5 times throughout last season. Only problem is, if you want the change in rosters on your dynasty mode, you'd have to start over.

devilsfan26 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I played this game yesterday, man that new stick-lift feature on defense is a great addition. I can't believe it took this long for a hockey video game to pay enough attention to defense to finally include something like that. Now there is actually defense other than huge hits and diving poke-checks. They included all the leagues from last year plus the DEL and RSL, and they added some historic teams which was one of my favorite things about 2K a few years ago. Overall I'd say this game is definitely an improvement over 08, which was pretty damn good itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilsfan26 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Oh yea and I'm glad they fixed the problem with the only injuries occuring on hip-checks. Man I demolished Morrow in the corner, it was hilarious, he landed on the side of his head. It also seems like hip-checks happen a lot less often, and they call interference penalties more if you wreck someone who didn't have the puck. That kind of upset me because I used to do that all the time haha but I guess it's more realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
