dude i am pissed that this dude got the cover. I am a Pens fan but i would rather see osgood or zetterburg, umberger, crosby, jagar, ppl that to me are good enough to be on the cover.
ok i guess i shouldnt have said i was pissed. I am disappointed because i didnt hear his name when the playoffs started. I have never seen him play but that is in my opinion. I think people that are household names like Avery, or Ovechkin
Crosby, Zetterberg, Umberger, Jagar should get the cover before anybody else, but in my opinion Dion isnt the biggest candidate for the cover. But i have to give him credit for being good enough to be on the cover.
You've never seen him play, yet you have an opinion? Everyone "has an opinion", but if you voice it in public, prepare to have it scrutinized. Dion may not be the popular, marquee player... but he embodies everything that the NHL (should) stand for. Plus it's just a freaking video game.
wog1018 i dont think you know much of hockey cauz jagr cant be on the cover cauzx hes now in russia, osgood had a great team he only faced 20 shots a game while vokoum averages 36 and umberger had has many points in the season has phaneuf did, and phaneuf a defenceman.
Yes, EA Sports release NHL 09 for Xbox360 PS3+2 and at least for PC. Not sure if PC and PS2 using the next gen controls and graphics - but the release it
at least a german game magazine reports about the multiplay and point out it doesn't matter which platform it is - there is a 6vs6 - maybe if all versions have the same base a multiplay across the platforms would be able ;)
to be a winner of 7 awards at the nhl series is just like beeing 1st with only two starters. this year it needs to be more than a update. ok, the 1st promotion video looks good, but it is a video, not more
the hitting looks better. i wanted their to be broken sticks and stuff thoguh. and blood and stuff. maybe they are just waiting for and interview with the EA people and not showing very much here.... hopefully. last year was alot better than 07 but i wonder if this will be better that 08.?
cant wait for nhl 09
