GameSpy Preview: NHL 09

GameSpy writes: "After playing last year’s NHL outing from Electronic Arts, it’s safe to say that we were wowed. Complete with stunning visuals, fantastic depth, and some of the best overall hockey we’d ever played in a videogame, it proved to be one of the best hockey titles to date. And now EA is upping the ante with the 2009 iteration. Using an assortment of new animations, new modes and a new skill stick feature, the next NHL title is shaping up to be something impressive."

Spiffy –

Great improvements to the skill stick; slick new animations; performance tracker is a great new feature.

Iffy –

We still don’t know much about the online features.
