NHL 09 review 0
Do you like hockey? Well awesome, because this years iteration of EA's storied hockey franchise is better then many than other versions of years past. From a technical hockey standpoint, there are few games that can stack up in terms of content, authenticity and fun. With many additions and tweaks to the game it is definitely worth checking out. Some highlights of the new game include:Be a Pro Mode - Essentially, this game mode builds upon the standard create-a-player mode and puts you in th...

The best hockey game I have ever played. 0
I have been playing hockey games since Ice Hockey for the NES, so clearly I am the most qualified man on the planet to review NHL 09. It really is the greatest hockey game ever.

For the 07 game EA switched up the formula, reducing checking effectiveness way down and putting more emphasis on stick handling & s...

Nhl 09 is 100% in the game 0
Nhl 09 has allot to live up 2 with the high bar set up by nhl 08. 09 meets and breaks and a throws the bar into the sun. Nhl sticks with the old and true saying if not broke why fix it. So at first glance while graphically it may appear the same has 08 there are many improvments which warrent a new purchase. Just like 07 and 08 nhl 09 brings back the skill stick with all it bells and whistles added in 08 and like its older brother adds its own twist to the skillsticks. New in 09 is the defensiv...
