Do you feel this game is actually 'finished'?

[R9Ronaldo]

I have madden at the moment but im seriously thinking of trading it in for nhl 10. However, as with all these types of new releases, i hope the game is actually playable and doesnt have a host of bugs and glitches that need fixing. I usually play online but for nhl id actually be interested in playing an franchise offline. Franchise in madden is rubbish. Any thoughts? thanks

!st..Hold off on trading madden. Patches are scheduled VERY soon to fix issues.

BUY NHL10....If you like 09...Then yoiu will love 10. I cannot find the issues of 09 and it is a better more tuned version. You wont be disappointed.

Yes but isnt the 'proper patch' more than 1 month away?

I didnt own nhl 09 however i was highly impressed with the nhl 10 demo

Bugs and glitches will always take time to uncover. As for initial impressions -- it feels as finished and polished as NHL 09 and EA's FIFA series (unlike Madden ever feels).

Hi im bumping this thread back up just to ask a couple more questions.Probably noob ones..but anyway

My xbox live runs out tomorrow. Im almost certain to take madden back and get nhl. If i start an nhl franchise could i download a roster update without xbox live?

Also are things like franchise stats ect working? i.e i heard that pass completion percentage is off or something??

Finally, if i decide to start on all star level-do you suggest tweeking any sliders? are there any you feel is a must? thanks for any help !

For Xbox, you have to have Gold to get the Roster Updates. Franchise Stats are fine, it's the Cpu Trade Logic that is out of whack. Lots of trades, many that would never happen.You can turn the Cpu trades off however. Yes I would suggest tweaking sliders, but try Flyermania's(located in the Slider Forums). If nothing else it will be a good base to work from.

Yes !
But I just think a patch or two can fine tune cpu sliders having more of a effect like human ones do all will be perfect

I'm going to be picking up NHL 10 soon, are their any current plans to release a plan to fix any CPU trade logic issues, or other general issues?
