The official NHL 09 blog has posted a patch update for NHL 09.

	"We are in the process of putting the patches up for both the X360 and the PS3. PS3 Europe has already gone up, and PS3 North America and both X360 patches should be up within the next week or two. First and foremost we have fixed the "dirty disc" message issue that some people are seeing on the X360. For the PS3, we have fixed the issue where there are sometimes white flashes or flickers during gameplay. So, if you have seen one of the above, you will be happy to know they are fixed with the patch. For most people though...the important fixes are in gameplay. We have listened to all of you, and we have played the game ourselves every day. While we couldn't make every fix that you asked for because of time constraints, we did fix most of the big issues, and also improved gameplay to be more authentic."

The cpu takes a lot of delay of game penalties when they're on the PK. of the 6 games i've played, happened a total of 4 times. not alot, but enough to dampen the mood. after the patch the cpu's scoring is significantly lower. They attack much better and have better posession but can't score as well as pre-patch. I, on the other hand, have had no change in scoring ability. maybe it's just a small sample but something I will look out for in future games. everything else is very fluid, goalies are better and more alive and less robotic. but the issue of the CPU delay of game and their lack of scoring is a MAJOR concern.... by the way, I play on all star...always felt challenged score wise by the cpu pre-patch. will play more and report back for all you 360ers

Good impressions. I had difficulty getting the cpu to be competitive and score on All-Star pre-patch, but superstar they score often enough and play competitive enough. I do hope post-patch that the cpu will still be reasonably effective on SS.

IMO the CPU is perfect post-patch on SS. I felt they were a little too "hyper" and scored at will at times, but post-patch i am very pleased at the games I am getting on SS.

I hear ya. What time does MS release new content to their servers? Might be out late tonight (or early tomorrow morning depending how you look at it.). It has been thirteen days since the announcement on Littman's blog and probably more days since the patch was shipped off to MS for approval. In any case, it's beyond Littman's prediction of the 360 patch dropping in a week to ten days. Hurry up Microsoft!
