It's intimidating at first and will take some practice to get used to it, but you're missing out on a lot of the game by sticking with classic controls.

you definitly have to use the new controls to experience the game. play around in practice mode for abit and you really get the hang of it

new control arn't even hard, after a game or two your set.

Nah i still use classic controls and find it fine playing this game with them. The only things you arent able to do are the stick lifts and the protection of the puck. Imo the poke check is the best defense. My friend tried to stick left me a few times and he got high sticking penalties every time.

If anyone is looking for a team mate on 360 add me: Bildo09

the new controls are pretty wierd..must learn

Line 1 on the Nucks in BAP with Ribeiro and Bernier
Demitra got traded and the Sedins are on Line 2 with GRABNER

Is there a Revscene club/league goin' on or what?

I got demoted from the first line with Daniel and Demitra :( even though I am tied with Demitra for the team scoring. I guess I should not call for the puck all the time.

it sounds like most people, including me, got demoted from the first line to the 2nd line for a few games, no matter how well they are playing. i think its just written into the game as a reality check kind of thing.

i went moose 3 - 2 -1 canucks 3 - 2 - 1 - 2 -1

I wanted to get my Pro card, so in my Be A Pro I just simulated about 30 games. In that time I somehow went from the Canucks 1st line down to the Moose's 3rd line...

lol well obviously ~ you are only a 79 to start.. you won't get much points if you simulate :S hmm i havent been demoted from the first line yet and i've been there for about 25 games now ~ meh i'm still scoring like crazy.. but hardly getting any assist.. my linemate sux.. henk can't score.. and bernier keep missing the net -_- (ya i demoted daniel to the second line lol)

No, the coach's AI in this game is just messed up. You can simulate games and average 2 pts/game in the simulations and your coach will still demote you. Even if you're the leading scorer in the NHL, you'll still get demoted.

can u trade in nhl08 and add cash for 09?
how much did u guys pay if this is possible, lol

EB Games does this, but don't be surprised if they offer you $5 for NHL08 :haha:

you can trade in any 2 08 games (nhl, tiger woods, nba live etc) and pay $9.99 at eb for NHL 09. I got my copy of NHL 09 for $20 brand new from a hook up at EA

have u guys get to contract signing yet, iam in the 3rd season the 1st and 2nd season i simmed quite bit, 3rd season i simmed only 5 games, i got contract offer from dallas 4 mil 1 year, vancouver 2.750 mil for 1 year detroit 2.850 for 1 year.
Took dallas.

^ why didn't you give the nucks a hometown discount. lol

its a virtual game, getting more cash doesnt mean much does it?

its funny right... everyone says "i would take a home team discount" when the conversation is about greedy star athletes and then here those same people are, in a PRETEND game, taking the PRETEND cash to play somewhere else.


money talks. real or fake.

i want my name on virtual stanley cup lol so i would look at the team and sign.

haha thats so true and funny

6 on 6 online is wicked. I just join random games from the chat sessions.

i played a bit of that too. just thru quick team play.

man do those kids get pissed off if you screw up. haha

haha nah. I've played about 10 sessions and they are pretty good. 1 session really made me mad because one of the players on my team was such a puck hog and would never pass to any of us, always trying to go in by himself.

Definitely nice if ppl play together and nobody quits. Anyone here on Xbox 360? post your gamertag and i'll add you guys so we can perhaps have a team game or something.
