NHL 09 impressed me when I saw it a few months ago and now that I've gotten my hands on the EA Sports Hockey League, I feel a little sorry for the competition. The feeling of playing true six-on-six hockey is fantastic if you can find the right group of players who understand the game and the stability of our game held strong despite being run on a server clear across the country. The only wrench that could stop this from being the next big thing in sports videogames is the online community not grabbing hold and embracing it. Barring that, NHL 09 could very well be a sign of things to come in gaming. |

I saw that earlier along with some video and the more I hear the more interested I become in the EA Sports League. The fact that it is up to 6 on 6 with no line changes and it is your created be-a-pro couple with the fact that there is a limit to how far you can level up so you have to choose what to level makes it even better. I like that there won't be a bunch of 99 rated people on the ice at once.
There also seems to be a feature that allows you to have a blue arrow when you don't have the puck which will tell you where you are supposed to be positioned. This will be really good for casual fans of the game. I really can't wait for this one to drop. Barring bugs and exploits this could really be the next big thing in sports gaming. |
