Let me first start by saying that I think the Be a player aspect is awesome, but I am quite disapointed in the rest.

-Little to no change in game play
-Feels like NHL 08 with updated rosters
-New fighting system still sucks!
-Goals still continue to bounce off the back of goalie backs.
-The worst for me has happened. I'm pretty good and highly ranked online and I like a challenge. However, I found the amount of pokechecking online ridiculous in 08, when I heard they were bringing this new defensive stick into 09 I knew I would want to barf when I played it online. Having played it online a couple of times now. It's a joke. Constant pokechecking, and zero flow to the game. Sure I can do it aswell and win, but the game is just not enjoyable online.
