Heh, I didn't mean to come off as complaining - they were decent questions, just not what *I* was looking for (I'm not big on euro teams, and I never play goalie, for example). I do appreciate the work you guys are doing and the community for participating.

Don't worry I'm just kidding you, man. By all means, if you have a question or two, post them and maybe Chase will see if he can you get an answer...

Glad to hear they have improved the AI tendencies for this year. This was one of the great additions to last year's game and I'm glad to see they put some work into it.

Sounds to me like they didn't sleep on this year's product, and kept trying to make improvements, which is great news.

Keep up the good work Chase! Thanks for these.

Wow. Is there any reason that there is no custom soundtracks for the ps3?

I really liked NHL 08 but I can't buy a game that leaves out features on 1 system and not the other.

Welcome to the world of gaming.

My guess is (and this seems to be pretty much the common answer): PS3 is terribly difficult to program for vs. 360.

That's the common excuse anyway, I wouldn't accept that as an answer. But I can't blame EA for this glaring omission...I'd suspect Sony didn't get Custom Soundtracks support into the SDK until it was too late for NHL 09. I think Sony didn't enable it until the Spring, iirc.

That said, there's no reason that EA can't patch it later on...this is now very common across several PS3 titles.

Also some PS3 games are starting to feature built-in uploading of video to YouTube...I hope EA makes that happen too, for NHL 2010. Dunno if the 360 has the horsepower for that. Maybe they can miss out on that feature next year. Fair is fair.
