Too freakin cool......

Game was tied 2-2, and I was playing as the Hawks. Went into OT, and in OT, I don't know how I did it, but, I had a two-on-one, and must've hit the pass button, because I passed it to the other guy, and scored on a one-timer! I'm thinking (As it all happened soo fast) I must've had the right stick back and let it fly right away. Either way, I've never jumped outta my seat and yelled like I did while playing "just a video game"! I was so excited, I didn't even get a chance to try one of the various celebration buttons!

The crowd went so crazy, it actually gave me chills!!!!

Pure awesomeness.......

Yep Sega, I know just what you mean.

I've never personally played a sports game that is this fun and exciting to play. Many times with other sports games, playing vs the AI gets really dull. While it's always the most fun playing vs another person...but with NHL, I still enjoy games against the cpu.

I think the only game that compares to NHL, in terms of enjoying games against the CPU on a consistent basis, is MLB The Show, just because of the nature of baseball, games are so unpredictable. You can score or give up 10 runs one game and then get shut out or pitch a shutout the next game.

I also think PES in it's hayday on the ps2 had the same effect. I had some amazing games on PES on the ps2. I am hoping they get that back this year.

Two questions:

1. What is the button to do a saucer pass? I can't tell how many two-on-ones I've had where I wished I knew how to skip the puck over the defenceman's stick.

2. What will the default difficulty be for online? I really hope it's All-Star since the AI is much more positionally sound at that level. If it's pro, the games could become really boring. Thoughts?
