NHL 09 Patch Update From David Littman

[Matt Diesel]

The crosscheck thing in front of the net is huge!

WOW. If all this stuff works as intended, that's all I can say. WOW...

Oh and they used my idea (although I'm sure I'm not the only guy in the world who thought of it):

Quote:

* If Vision Control is pressed, you do not throw a hit when in front of the attacking net. This helps with rebound shots.

[mudtiger]

My thoughts exactly.

WOW. I think those changes are probably big enough that I'll start my franchise over and probably have to mess with sliders.

Now the waiting game begins.

they need to get the faceoffs in the offensive zone for all penalties...they did NOT add this new rule for '09. was disappointed this wasn't added.

Man, I'm excited about this patch. I can't wait.

I am really happy they're taking care of the problem with cheese goals online.

EDIT: Kind of wondering why they didn't fix the 'fighting and hooking' button being the same one.

I guess adding custom controls would have fixed it.

I'm assuming this will be the only patch. Last year they only gave 1. I know Madden had 2, but I doubt NHL will have 2.

Wow, awesome list. Fixed just about every beef I have with the game.

[i c u cant stop me]

Man iam already in love with this game expecially the 5 on 5 online and now we have this awsome patch comming. I dont know if you guys are going to agree with me our not but iam say it right now..this is the best sports title easports has EVER come out with.

[steveeee]

awesome stuff here!

I'm impressed for all the things that benefit the EASHL... 5 on 5 continuos play, trying to get rid of the chit goal from the outside is the best, and more penalities from stick lift is the best of all the new additions imo.. oh .. and the vision update too.. basically everything!


thanks Litty!


ps. this makes the best sports game out right now even better
