Are you asking if an XBOX360 will play XBOX360 games? I'm confused

I think the question is based on the issues Halo Reach had with the 4GB versions not working online as they weren't being recognized as a hard drive.

Edit: I'm pretty sure that was all patched and is no longer a problem.

I think it's a legitimate question, as with all the RROD's out there most of them won't (sorry, that was just too easy to pass up)

Ah, fair enough, had no idea that was ever an issue.

Not sure it's worth an update, but it seems balance is much more important this game.

Good because I can make Tim Jackman look like Elvis Stojko in the current game, not too realistic.

I dunno...I always had Jackman laying the hits on people in NHL 11...the only time I had a problem was when I made a smurf sized team (average height was under 6 feet and had an average weight probably in the 170s)...I basically assumed every play I only had 4 players.

Did you know they're the winner of 22 sports game of the year awards? They should consider advertising that.

It's funny because I think they won about 12 of those 22 in one year (09 with Phaneuf on the cover) if not more since the game came out (that was on the cover, I think it won about 15 in total).

Since then it has been all Fifa and NHL hasn't really done anything.

New EA Sports "Season Ticket" announced:
http://www.easports.com/blogs/itsint...-arrives-today

Seems like a bit of a cash grab to me. Hoping this isn't their "Big Announcement"...

Groan. I might just be suckered into that. It will be painful reading all the forum posts from people playing the game 72 hours before it comes out in stores.

I would agree normally, but I am going to Penticton from the 9th-18th so the good news is I won't have to read any of them.

$25/year to play games 3 days earlier? If I play 3 days earlier, I'll get bored 3 days earlier. No thanks, I'll stick to a regular timeline and do something more practical with that money. Like throw it in a fire.

Another junk inclusion to a broken game.

At least you'll know, on release day, what the approximate reviews are...though it'll likely be only EA fanboys who'll buy it

How anti-climactic this game is becoming. I have a feeling the new AI is going to be just as stupid as the current AI, and outside that there is really nothing different with the game.

Come on EA, how about you go to an entrepreneur class and learn about innovation, because at the moment you are rather pathetic.

In anyone cares about their e-peen, the Achievements are better.

Some nice tributes to great ex-players in there (Gretzky, Lemieux, and Howe are referred to by number in their achievement).

Judging by those achievements it looks like the majority of the focus will be on BAP mode and virtually nothing on Be a GM mode.
