dazzareyes 220 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 it is fast, but i find that you get on the puck a lot, also when u press R2 (PS3) the player in your team will pass to you. the game i played online though wasnt really good though, no one really wanted to pass but i suppose it was just one game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenose_72 198 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Loved NHL 08 but had to use the classic controls as I hated the default ones! So I might get this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzareyes 220 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 ive not had an nhl game since the mega drive, always liked them though, played a few more recent ones on my m8s xbox and stuff. its a really good game and it will be nice switching between this and fifa. cant beat the fans singing "lets go rangers" aswell lol i hit the post and cross bar quite a lot to, its good when u score though, ive managed to get a good couple of well worked ones which is also nice. what do u think of the bit when your off the ice and your wee guy watches, at first i was annoyed that i wasnt on the ice but then after a while it made me more determined to score when i got back on. my coach at the moment seems to have a good time taking me off after i score a goal though not amused lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brissyger 8 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I fancy getting this. I like it how EA has added the Be A Pro mode to most of their games to match the Madden series. Is this like those games where you create a player and go through the draft etc or do you just choose a team. It would suck having to watch from the side, in Madden you can skip through the stuff when you're not on the field. The new adaptation of ai in EA games is fantastic as well. Saves you from pissing about with sliders and everything trying to get the perfect difficulty for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can edit the player once in the game so if we have any position changes it should be ok. The be a pro set up looks very good so far though! And you do get to create your own player, even from things like what make of stick you use! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
