NHL 09 is great. It takes what I think was the best hockey experience I've had to date (I've owned every nhl game since NHLPA 93)in NHL 08 and adds the phenomenally addictive Be A Pro mode. There is absolutely no better feeling in sports games than playing in that mode and throwing a big hit or scoring a goal.

EA has all the building blocks now to make possibly the most complete and immersive sports ever in 2010. All that's missing in my opinion is maybe divisions/separate leagues and contracts for the online Be a Pro as well as endorsement deals and other little things in the offline Be A Pro, kind of like the superstar mode has in Madden.

Also, I'd like to see the Dynasty Mode have a few more details when it comes to the NHL-NHLPA CBA.

However, the meat of the game is it's gameplay and with the added defensive skill stick, it delivers the most complete and realistic hockey experience you'll ever get off the ice.
