I still suck (mabey I should stop playing as the Leafs – lol) but atleast now I’m loosing to guys who are more skilled at passing, setting up plays and ofcourse scoring.

Now for example 2 players chasing the puck down ice can draw a penalty if one decided to check him before he touches the puck. They were calling them before but it seemed random. w00t! Also the stick lift and hit spamming ended because NHL 09 calls 90 % of penalties.

Shortly after discovering glitch goals EA released a a Patch on March 3 that eliminated the glitch goals (new ones coming). I was passing it off the whole time due to playing people who were more skilled than I. Good to see that these guys also exist in the world of console gaming and not just PC. That led me to discover the existence of glitch goals. I’m thinking WTF is this guy doing? Well he scored 2 goals like that. One night I’m playing some schmuck who would just skate to my goal line and shoot the puck toward the net. I might be new to 09 but not to the EA NHL franchise. But I was puzzled as to why I can beat people who were in the same room as I but yet could not beat people online. However I expected this being a noob to the game. I sucked online – these guys were just pulverizing me. The new interface update was quite cool not to mention all the down-loadable goodies I have acces to. I decided to hook the 360 up to the net and subscribe to xbox live. I was having a blast playing the CPU on the new “be a pro mode” and just playing over all. However I should be clear that shooters are still 100% better on a PC. So I picked up an XBox 360, a handful of titles and I must say that I love it. Well I never thought as a PC gamer I would ever own a console, but after playing NHL 09 at work I decided this game alone was worth it.
