MLB the Show, but this is a close second. Madden looks like it might give this game and the Show a ride.

All the great things that have been said about MLB The Show, kinda makes me wish I was a big baseball fan. And yeah...this years Madden looks like a real effort has been made to get Madden back where it belongs.

NHL '10', I agree...is looking good too. Looks like maybe a great year for sports games.

With this game, Madden and 2k10 I think it will be a very good year.

Did you play the online modes?

EASHL is the feature that put it over the top. I have never had more fun playing a video game than I have in that mode.

I can see how you'd dislike the game if you only played offline, because NHL 09's single player experience was dreadful due to all the AI problems.

Get a bunch of human guys playing together, though, and the AI problems disappear.

Online is where the glitches were abundant. If I never played online, I honestly would never know, because I never look for money goals.

Because this series has made the greatest strides of all the EASports series. In fact, of about all sports series, except The Show. From killer new features to improved gameplay. The NHL series has never been so popular.

So true. It's gotten to the point where people who don't even like hockey that much are giving it a try. That's pretty impressive for a sports game.

Great video thanks! Another thing about NHL 09 is that it is still $54.99 used at gamestop here in Minnesota (I don't know if their prices are regional). A 10 month old sports game still at the same price it was when it came out. I think that says a lot about this game. Not many people are selling it or trading it in.
