I understand that you want some proof, but I can assure you that this will come out all over most boards in a couple of days when other people realize this.

That sucks. I played one community OTP game and it seemed like no one was juiced. Hopefully your buddy is an exception, not the rule...

Redshirt_EA has stated that you won't have to restart to see the changes.

Gotta love the deflections. I'm playing a game with Minnesota right now and no one is screening the front of the net on the PP. Frustrating...

I am hopeing this as well. I told him to keep his guy the way he is until tonite when I can see it first hand.

But Marian "I'm not injured yet because it's only the first game of the season" Gaborik just did this:

EA SPORTS World: speed kills

It put me up 4-3 with a little over five minutes left in the 3rd. I added an empty-netter to ice the 5-3 win, quite satisfying as I blew an early 2-0 lead by allowing 3 straight Boston goals before Zidlicky tied it up at 3-3 a few minutes before Gabby's goal. Three of my goals were on wrist shots -- two to the glove side, one to the five-hole -- and two of those were at least partially the result of a screen by the d-man in front of me when I shot. The other goal was a cross-crease to a wide open Koivu for a slam dunk...

Users without Xbox Live can get the patch from a link in my blog for use with Xplorer 360 and Xport (or some other way to get the files onto your hard drive). Check my blog for details on how to put it on your HDD. This is actually named NHL 09 Title Update #3 by EA in their file.

Always Up control scheme still isn't correct. The shot aiming height controls are reversed. Is there any way that a fix could be snuck into the trade deadline roster update?

First game after the patch, and Ovechkin still rules you.
