NHL 09 Fridays: Community Questions #1

[RaychelSnr]

The folks up at EA Canada are nearing their goal as NHL 09 skates towards its September release. They are undoubtedly working very hard since they have a hard act to follow considering how well NHL 08 was received by most gamers. Also, with such high expectations, it's no surprise that the OS community has tons of questions when it comes to NHL 09. Due to this fact, we here at Operation Sports felt it was important to get the NHL developers to answer some questions from the Operation Sports community. So every Friday, until NHL 09 releases, OS will be running five-question-Q&A sessions with NHL 09 developers.

Nice, but boo to my question specifically about stat overlays during *franchise/dynasty* games being edited to drop off the word franchise and turned into a hype opportunity for be a pro.

You gotta be kidding Me those were the questions ??? wow EA must have everyone in their back pocket , Real NHL you gotta be kidding me , why wont anybody just say we dont care about offline and we want everyone online playing cheesers scoring 200 a year .
How about some REAL dynasty Questions next week about why EA keeps neglecting basic functions that were on last Gen.
??? IS THERE ANY WAY TO KEEP REAL ROSTERS IN DYNASTY MODE OTHER THEN TURNING OFF TRADES Thanks

If you don't like what was asked, why not ask some of your own for the next session?

Please tell me whats so awesome ? After all our questions they still wont answer any real dynasty questions but they do wanna recreate real NHL as much as possible lol.
How about asking EA why it has neglected dynasty modes offline again ? answer because Littman has a goal of everyone playing online and if he /they keep elimanating basic last gen functions he will accomplish that . So play online and be part of us or enjoy offline exhibition games .

it's obvious.. the dev team considers online more important than Dynasty mode...

and I for one am glad they consider online and gameplay more important than Dynasty mode..
