Check my Stats Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 You guys playin this on XBOX or PS3? Game looks unreal, all they really needed to fix was the hits from behind, stick lift and make the goalies better and 09 would have been damn near perfection. Love that they added the pump fake, that is my favourite move when I play hockey, or the one hander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNiner Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 My main wishes are that they fix the bull-[expletive] glitches around the net where a player goes around the net and takes a slap shot and it goes in. The stick lifts are wayyyyy too effective, and I get called for high-sticking ever damn time I do it. . I also want to see how sick the fan animations look, especially the towel waving and everything. That [expletive] will get me pumped.

fly3rs18 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 i cant wait for this game. im sure they will fix the scoring glitches, but there will probably be different ones next year anyway, so it doesnt really matter. plus lift stick is way to effective. but some of these things seem really cool. i honestly cant see myself using the stuff against the boards very often, but i am just looking for the other ingame fixes cant wait for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I don't even watch that much NHL, but their games are hella fun. Why can't NBA video games add this much new cool features in their games instead of an "isomotion 2.0" or a "new" association mode. smh.

EastCoastNiner Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) I know that it would probably be really hard to do, and they don't happen often, but it would be sick if there could be line-brawls in the game. I really want them to fix the the checking, so I don't get called for "Interference" and "Cross-Checking" and crap all of the time.

Built Ford Tough Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 NHL 09 is, in my opinion, the greatest sports game ever made. Usually I get way too good at NHL games and after about a month or two I am playing on the hardest difficutly and going 82-0 in my Dynasty modes and blowing teams out like 10-0, but I still manage to get a challenge out of NHL 09 and it is still fun to play. The new additions seem absolutely unreal. The board work is such a fantastic addition because that is such a huge aspect of hockey. Puck battles down low and cycling in the offensive end is actually possible now (or at least it seems like it) and that just adds even more realism to the game. In Be A Pro mode, it might actually be worth playing as a defenseman now because there is actually something that you can master and become good at (although I never really got into Be A Pro mode that much in 09, don't know why). Being able to shoot from your knees is another nice addition that just gives even more of a realistic feel to the game, and the same can be said for batting the puck out of mid air and gloving it down. All of the new features of the game are simply awsome and make for an even better, and realistic, experience playing the game. Honestly, EA could've made minor tweaks and adjustments to their 09 game and I would be fine with it because it was such a great game, but all of these additions are just amazing. This game is going to be unreal and I can't wait for September 8 (I think that is the date at least). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly3rs18 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I really want them to fix the the checking, so I don't get called for "Interference" and "Cross-Checking" and crap all of the time. interference is usually pretty easy to avoid, but the cross-checking and elbowing are very annoying. i hate when you are right behind a guy going to get the puck and you hit him and get a penalty. sometimes it isnt a penalty, but usually it is that same animation of the guy smashing his face into the boards. i hate that but hitting it out of the air and gloving it down are going to be really helpful. cant believe it took this long to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great iBoldin Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Well guys, as I said in the earlier thread, I got another chance to give NHL10 a hands on test drive, and this time, I was able to spend much, much more time with the game (and it appeared to be a slightly more advanced build.) David Littman said the build that was showcased yesterday was 95 percent done (and the actual gameplay end of things was about 99 percent done.) I was able to play four full games, and poked around and looked at a lot of the menus, new features, etc. so I have a lot more information and should be able to answer a lot more questions. Let me just tell you a bunch of random stuff, and if anyone has any questions, I can try to answer. - They have added a "season" mode, and it allows you to manage up to 30 teams. So if you want to try and mimic the NHL season exactly by making all the roster moves, you can now do that. - The Fantasy Draft is in. - Dynasty hasn't just been added to, it's been scrapped and replaced by a MUCH more detailed version called "Be A GM." This mode, quite simply, is awesome. It is a much more detailed, feature rich version of the old Dynasty Mode with a real focus on how you run your club and if you're able to keep your owner happy. Among the cool things here is the fact that EA has fixed a lot of the annoying loop holes that previously existed. In previous versions, you could sign five free agents then trade them off for draft picks or bundle them up for one big star player. You can still do that, but now it will really cost you. As a GM, you have a "reputation." If you do something shady like sign a free agent then quickly trade him, your reputation around the league - and most importantly with players and agents - takes a big hit. You will find that guys - including your own - don't want to sign with you or other GMs have no interest in trading with you. This also solves another little work-around. Previously you could trade a 79 overall guy for an 81 overall guy then swap him for an 83 then an 85, etc until you got a great player. Now trading for a guy then dumping him the same day will hurt your reputation. Also, if you try to "rip off" other GMs by offering stupid lop-sided trades, you will piss off the GMs and hurt your reputation. Another way you are punished for being a shady GM is by literally losing "phone lines." All of your interactions with other teams are via Blackberry (and they actually have the rights to Blackberry, so a real blackberry pops up on your screen.) If you're a good GM with a good reputation, you can have as many as 5 different Blackberry's. This is useful around the draft or trade deadline day because you have five lines and can receive a ton of different offers. However, if you've got a lousy reputation, you will lose phone lines and, as a result, opportunites to improve and build your team. You can start the Be A GM mode pre-draft, and a cool little feature thats included is the prospects game. You can actually play this game to get a look at the best draft eligible players in a game situation, or you can simply scout it. At the draft, much like the real one, there's a lot of wheeling and dealing. You can set your trade block, your wants and needs, and see if other teams come biting. You get "calls" on your Blackberry "It's St. Louis, they have the 11th pick. Answer or Ignore?" A lot of trades went down at the draft involving players and picks. The trade AI has been totally revamped. ****** teams like the Leafs and Islanders won't trade their young stars, period. They are rebuilding and will tell you so. Good luck trading for Luke Schenn. Another cool detail that adds realism is players worth actually fluctuates. At the beginning of the season, the trade value for an older veteran isn't too high. However, at the deadline, when his cap hit is small and there's teams looking for veteran leadership, his value goes up. Its worth hanging on to these guys an auctioning them at a higher price. This mode also has accomplishments can be met that are worth points you can use to improve your staff so you get better medical, better scouting reports, better more accurate trade rumors from around the league, etc. Very, very cool. - For the Be A Pro fans, there's now a proshop where you can buy new equipment for your player that will give him attribute boosts, much like Tiger Woods. - Much much more of the games features can be toggled on/off in order to crank up the realism for better players. You can now pick the "style" and if you choose hardcore, its a much tougher game and all sorts of things are now in your control. You can turn off "auto skate back" you can turn off "penalties after the whistle" you can even turn off the clock slown down that happens during powerplays. - The Swiss National League has been added. - The New Road to the Cup mode has a lot more then just towels for the fans, as I reported earlier. You can now set up ANY length series for the Cup. It's a good party mode, and it has really cool story telling in it. The announcers - and fans - have a memory of the series. If Justin Williams highsticked Saku Koivu and he's out for the rest of the series, Williams will get booed by the fans in the next game(s.) The announcers will also be aware of the incident and talk about it. When you start the next game, the "story" will be about Williams taking out Koivu. The question is... will you retaliate? Very cool. - Speaking of injuries ... If a guy gets punched out or a puck in the face, he can return with a black eye. If a guy gets his jaw broken, he can return with a jaw protector on his helmet. Injuries that happen in game now give you an on-screen update about the injured player (during the game) and you can decide if he should hit the showers, stay on the bench, or play hurt. Cool stuff. - The level of detail in the goaltenders is remarkable. I already talked about the slew of new animations before, but I've noticed some other cool stuff. If you play with a goalie that handles the puck well (Brodeur, Turco) he will be very active with playing the puck. Always jumping out to corral dump ins, skating out to play a puck that drifts into the zone. If the goalie doesnt have those skills, he doesn't. If you play with Tim Thomas, expect to see an unorthodox style. He could be on the ice, on his [expletive] in the splits, while Brodeur will stand up a lot more. The animations are specific to the actual style the real-life goalie plays. Very detailed and the animations are great. - If you get hooked or knocked down and your a skilled player, its possible to retain possession while on your knees and even shoot (I hit the crossbar wtih Lecavalier from my knees, drew a penalty shot then hit the damn cross bar again.) - This one almost seems too good to be true, but I played a few full games and watched several more and I'm here to tell you the money-shot one-timer goal..... is dead. Obviously you can still score with one timers but not nearly with the frequency you could before. And you can one time loose pucks which is awesome. I scored three goals with Matt D'Agostini in three different games all loose puck one timers that he wired. Sweeet. - It's gonna take a lot of people some time to realize that the game is different and they will likely take A LOT of penalties at first. (obviously penalty frequency can be toggled) but there's a lot of scrums now that can easily lead to fights or penalties. I face-washed a guy and got a Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty, so its quite detailed. A cool little animation exists where if you have the option to drop your gloves (it asks you, and tells you who the combatants are) and you don't drop them your guy will be wiggling his gloves as if to say "you wanna go? You wanna go?" There's a another cool animation if you drop a guy in a fight where your guy tumbles down on top of him the winner of the fight pulls a punch as if he's gonna drill the guy while he's turtled. He never does fire the punch though! - The highest compliment I can give the new board play feature is that it feels totally organic to the game and not like something that was "added in." In fact, it feels like it was always there, but it really adds a wrinkle of realism. If you get tied up, you can try to kick the puck to your teammate, but, because its kicking, its not moving fast and be intercepted. Your fourth line slugs that never played in any other version of NHL, are really quite useful now because they can go out there and grind out a shift where there hits and pinning of guys actually intimidates and wears down your opponent. Ditto for big defenseman. I watched Hal Gill totally dominate Brian Gionta along the boards in one shift. (The rosters were pre-free agency.) It was really cool to see, Gill just neutralized and Gionta couldn't overpower Gill. But be aware of the puck, if the player kicks it away and you still hit him or pin him, it can be an interference penalty. - The demo, which has no release date, will be different in terms of what you get to do then previous versions. Littman said it's a "very cool demo." Not a lot of info there! - None of the new features for the EAHL or Be A Pro were revealed, they will be announced in 2 or 3 weeks. That's all I can remember right now, guys. CheersFR This is from FerrisRox of HFBoards. Link is here. This game sounds so sick, could contend for my favorite game of all-time. I can't friggin' wait.

I can't friggin' wait. Thanks for the details man. The new "Be A GM" mode sounds so sick. Well actually, every single new detail about this game that I read sounds amazing. I can't wait for this game to come out. It sounds like it is going to be unreal and seeing how I couldn't get enough of NHL 09 (I still play it to this day which doesn't usually happen with sports games as they tend to get way too easy for me), I honestly don't think that I could ever get sick of this game. It sounds amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly3rs18 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 i cant wait for this game, sounds so cool. they really balanced some things out. i didnt think there were too many things to improve from 09, but apparently they found things damn, i cant be a cheap GM now. i love trading away my entire team for young guys all in one day. i guess i will need some new strategies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
