my first impressions..and discussions about the game

alright guys shoot
any questions you got just leave comments and i will answer them

first of all
soundtrack is great
customization sucks
you have to use jerseys that are already in the game

when ever i find more information about the details of the game
ill update

Edit 12:30
you can only be on one team at a time
from what i can tell..once you make a character online
he can play any position

i've been reading a lot about people complaining about the "always up" shooting mechanism...can you confirm that this is different than it was in NHL 08?

Christian said...

i will check it out for you. what do u mean exactly different?

Duff said...

Got it for 360.

Good:
Gameplay, Navigation, Music, Backgrounds, hurting 2 Detroit players in my first game and winning! :D

Bad:
Customize players appearance &
EA's Network was down when I tried around 11am EST.

I can't wait to play more after work!

Aron said...

what i mean, is it the same as NHL 08? or is this "always up" thing something new for 09? do we all have to re-think the way we aim our shots? or is this muchado about nothing.

Sockhead said...

I called the Circuit City in Monaca but they said they didn't have any copies. Not sure if they had them in the back or something and were too lazy to look.

Paul...if you'll look at the previous post NHL 09 discussion, the roster is updated and you are on it.
