Get your facts straight before you try to make an assumption. I bought 2k8 day of release and still do play it from time to time. 08 was my game of choice last year, plain and simple. And I've been tweaking sliders in the 2k series since 2k3, so I'm pretty familiar with what works and doesn't work in their sliders. Nice try though.

I hope they follow through on that

I totally think Flyermania and Eddie should just make out already. I can sense the sexual tension from here.

It's a classic case of two people passionate about their games. I respect his opinions on 2k and hope that 2k9 gives him what he looks for in a hockey game. It's good we have choices...we obviously just don't agree on our game of choice.

The main thing I want to know about is the offline "Be A Pro" mode

Hi Chase
Once again thanks for doing this for us and I didnt mean to start a war but most here are very narrow minded and always try to make into 2k or ea as I just want the best game for me and I think having all types of options , sliders ect does that.
I am typing this while playing Madden 09 which I am having alot of fun with intil NHL2K9 comes out .
Unfortantly I am very passionate about realisum in a video game and not being able to keep real rosters makes nhl09 unplayable for me for 3 years straight .
Your news for 10 is incouraging so once again maybe next year I can finally get 2 realistic sim based hockey games
Well see you guys 2010.

Saying that NHL 09 isn't a sim is laughable. I really don't understand how full roster control makes one game more sim than the other.

Nice. I didn't mean to start anything but let me get my final shot in.
