Wouldnt that make this years NHL 9 (8.5 + .5)? And to you, what constitutes a patch? Its a one year cycle, how much can you expect given the budget of this game? I think , on features alone, NHL09 was worthy of its namesake versus NHL08.

I agree.

P.S. Teen Wolf was an overrated basketball player and a jerk.

True, but he was a beast on the court!

I kinda think that would be sweet if the stadium wasn't full every game. Say early in the season the team isn't that hot.... not that many fans will show up. In the other scenes (obviously playoffs cuz of the towels) you can see its definatley packed.

Yea your right, looking at it closer the boston fans arent actually waving anything but their hands, nice catch

It would be awesome to have personalized crowd for each team. If u have a 5 wins streak then there would be a lot of people .. but if u keep losing...then the arena would be empty .. and no girls to cheer and dance for the team !

Thats actually a pretty neat idea, have dynamic attendence based on performance.

Didn't NHL2004 have this? I thought I remembered seeing half-empty buildings when your team was struggling.

But I also read that the NHL and PA didn't like this and started forcing game developers to have full houses.
