oh wow ... oh wow

that almost looks like a hockey MMO! If that is done properly it could be an insane amount of fun. I remember thinking of having a really fun Calgary Puck online league ... now we can have a calgary puck TEAM. That's pretty damn awesome.

I'd be lying if i said i wasn't getting a little concerned about not hearing anything about offline multiplayer. The last two years of this series have not had an offline season mode (for multiple players to play a single season together). While this new feature is cool, it certainly isn't the same.

This news makes me think I might be getting the PS3 version of NHL 09. This feature sounds pretty wicked but I'm not a big multiplayer at all so spending $60 to get a years worth of Live doesnt sound like a very good investment compared to getting free multiplay for PS3.

We're going to have to start organizing the ps3/360 calgary puck teams pretty quick here!

If you're looking to pick up a ps3, you may want to wait until August 27 ... the 40 gig units are all being replaced by 80 gig units at no price difference.

I actually just got my MGS4 PS3 bundle today from sonystyle.ca. I ordered it before the announcement and kind of felt a little disappointed that the stand alone was $100 cheaper but I've also heard it's not backwards compatible and just this weekend I got my cousin to pick me up God of War 1 & 2 on his way up from Winnipeg so unless it was just a misunderstanding I'm kind of happy I got this instead

NHL meets World of Warcraft.

This could very well be the first sports game I put money down on.

PS3 or Xbox I guess is going to be the big question.

After having horrible freeze problems and disc cracking with the 360 version of 08, I'll be getting this on PS3 for sure.

Count me in for any leagues. My online record was something like 85-10-4 last year.

devastating news for me. EA has apparently confirmed that custom soundtracks are for the 360 version only. This was right up there with my most anticipated features. I'm assuming Joborule can confirm?

I've read the same thing. Very unfortunate if it's true, but I am still going with the PS3 version. I hope that if the fans whine about it enough they can patch it....

Speaking of NHL09 soundtracks...

Is it wrong that I only discovered the awesomeness of Paramore last year, after I spent an entire weekend holed up in my living room playing NHL08 with the song Misery Business playing over and over and over and over?

So psyched for NHL 09 it's not even funny. But, the gaming Gods apparently hate me and today, lo and behold, THE RED RING OF DEATH. Damn you Bill Gates. I'd better have my system back before the game gets released.

Awesomeness? I hope you forgot the green text on that one. That song makes me want to stab my ears.

The NHL soundtracks are usually 99% dreadful. Thank god for custom soundtracks.

I like their stuff. Try some of the rest of their songs...

I like everything from Frank Sinatra to Slayer, with lots of stuff in between!


(and the EA NHL soundtracks are actually pretty good at introducing new bands - not everyone likes the style of music they play, but lots do)
