I was always a 2K fan mostly because of the online leagues. Hearing of NHL 09's gameplay and even online leagues made me switch. I love the game but the online leagues were thrown together last minute and is horrid. The online is terrible, great feature but terrible server problems and glitches. I would like to see better leagues (Like 2K), better online, and more dekes. Also be able to have leagues with 2 people on each team, team play but in leagues.

Yeah, I would like to see the same changes you mentioned. Did 08 have the ability to play 8 players in an online game? If not that would be a nice addition (10 would be even better or 12 if people wanted to try their hand at being goalie).

I want a better fighing system, I really liked the one in 06 and hated the change in 07 then the 'improvement' of 08. I also want to see Goalie fights back and breaking glass

Ok The fighting sucked very very bad for 08 and they had no more shattered glass..real let down... I think they should do something like they did in EA Skate. They would start you out low and then go to pro. So with my Idea there, I say that as a mode called something like "Pro Mode" or something like that where you start out in the minors on a CHL team or something at that level. When your created player starts to be getting better and you complete challenges like," Score 2 goals in one game" or like " get a 1 timer goal" or something like that, it adds onto your level for you to have a chance to get drafted onto a team. Just leave a reply if you guys think that its a good Idea or if you have other suggestions.

I would love it if you could cause/join scrums. I have never been a fan of the only 3 fights per game formula. I never had too many problems playing online, but I have not been on for a little while. I am sure they could make improvements to it.

I would like to play as the goalie in a first person view...i think it'd be hard but really fun if you were good at it

p.s. Also, For Marty Brodeur to be as invincible as he is in real life

p.p.s Snipeshot11--where did you get a Devils logo small enough for your icon?

More game mods and less suckage. I'm sorry, but the EA series of NHL games have gone far far down hill.

i think the gameplay from NHL 08 is solid....some things i think they could add (cosmetic)

new animations, more character face models

more stat details during dead play (PP%, Ranking)...more talking about the team performace thus far (in season mode)

Online less laggy

In NHL 08 you can already play the goalie in first person view for the whole game. They need to allow first person goalie for shootouts in online games, not just online shootouts. I have played 1000 online games and not one fight, they should allow fighting. Definitely should be able to break the glass. Should be able to check a player into the bench. Should be able to set up offensive and defensive schemes that are more intricate, not just press a button for aggressive, all out attack... so on. I think that a speed burst would be kinda cool even though it's more realistic without it.

They only put superstars on the cover. Brodeur or Ovechkin should get it.

#1 issue I would like to see EA fix is the freakin Online gameplay.

Its fun and all but, it is extremly frustrating when the game glitches and keeps looping. EA knows how to ruin the fun of a game by not fixing it. Honestly, that glitch was around in NHL 07 on 360 as well.

Also as much as I enjoy playing 6 on 6 online, I would much rather have a 3 vs 3 if there were no glitches and looping online. Seriously EA, why add more people into a game when you haven't fixed the real problems?

#2 Issue is being able to make line changes for Offence and Defense. Who doesn't like to line match..?

#3 Issue is fighting. What can anyone say but WEAK.

#4 Issue which isn't really a big deal but I'd like to see some party games on or offline.. That isn't a big deal though.

i would like to see more realistic changes on the fly. Also, there were some defensive flaws that would not be too hard to fix. for example, when two defensemen are around the goal they usually dont do anything, they dont block passes and seem to let every centering pass go through. A better shot blocking system would be nice too. also, every pass shouldnt be dead on and automatically connect, they should miss more often- they bounce over sticks. also, the puck still doesnt fully feel alive, it still feels attached to the player. 08 was still the best hockey game i ever played, much improved over 07, i was real impressed.

Better Fan cinematics

If you were playing as the Maple Leafs, they would show the fans getting pumped up, cheering waving flags exsepcially if you make it to the the playoffs. After Games they could have the same thing but if the Senators won fans would be sad and leaving the arena queitly, but if the Leafs won they would be going nuts outside the arena.

If your team wins in OT and your at home, the arena should explode into cheering. Also get rid of the same cinematic they show every single time you score an OT winner give us some veriety.

Playoffs if your Clagray playing at home SEA OF RED! Go Flames Go!
