Bouwmeester is a beast on the Flames. He is second in scoring behind Iggy, under my Be a GM mode.

What a load, Langkow gets thrown out for a slash? Kipper played like crap, and my guys just shot it in Nabakov's glove all game. Then next game I play I'll go 7-1, I just know it. LOL

Maybe it's also that I've been playing since '95 on the SNES, but even in 09 I went through and changed all of the buttons to the classic style. I just find it nice that there is a classic controller setup now, similar to using the classic camera angle.

That's crazy talk. The skill stick has been the most revolutionary part of the game this generation. It adds a whole new level of creativity and fun to the game. I would never go back to pressing a button to shoot. But I guess there is a reason they have classic controls in the game, because some people still want to use them.

I think a roster update is already available. I know Heatley trade and such is up to date on mine. But man, your going hate Be a GM mode if you like it to be real life. At the draft CPU is very very active in trades lots will happen, big names too.

Too many penalties, hard to score on individual efforts anymore, still lots of diving breaking up plays...
I am disappointed so far.

Have you tried registering the game over at ea.onlineregister.com? That's the other place where you can generate yourself an EA account as well.
The other thing is that since it is an automated mailer, your junk filters will usually flag it as being junk.

Most people who play out of the box really dont know much about the sport and just want the arcadish end to end, rock'em sock'em hockey. Not me. I know a lot of diehard fans of the sport too and theyre the same way.

MissKat, are you making the forum rounds this afternoon?
http://forum.teamxbox.com/showpost.p...&postcount=670
I got a laugh out of the response.
Anyways, I don't know if Downtown HMV has this anymore. I didn't see it on their shelves. Doesn't matter to me since I'll be getting NHL 2K10 when I get home. Yes, yes, I know...but I gotta stick with them!
