NHL 09 Thread

[xbrokendownx]

some people were talking about making it so i figured i might as well

i cant play on the club cause im on the HF devils club, but im sure you guys will be fine without me

[pand75]

that sucks.

[Killadelphia]

yeah, I can't join the club either right now, though I think I can swap leave the club, join another, and keep swapping.

[pand75]

yeah that's what my plan is

[Markus1186]

Goin to play for a bit now... mark us1177

[kbauer]

i just need to get my damn 360 fixed or buy a new one. i got the red ring of death but i couldnt send it in because i bought it used. its been cooked since feburary so maybe i should get on that.

[zizou1790]

my roommate just went out to buy it

[Markus1186]

So in the NHL thread I was saying how I was pissed about them not keeping stats in ranked matches.. apparently im an idiot, just hit the right bumper in the performance tracker..

[we are cured]

has anybody unlocked the all-time montreal canadiens yet? most of them don't have helmets, and they're fucking awesome. ken dryden is the goalie.

[xbrokendownx]

5 ranked match wins in a row what uppp

[Kram41]

I'm struggling with Be-a-Pro. It's weird getting used to only controlling one player on the ice after 15 years (holy shit...) of controlling everyone.

[Markus1186]

5 ranked match wins in a row what uppp

Nice, I keep getting stuck with shitty people with no mics. I think im a few games under .500

[xbrokendownx]

im 9-2-1

[VoiceoffCamera]

I started a franchise with the Devils and I am terrible, lost 6 straight games and the score of every game has been 4-1.

[Killadelphia]

I'm struggling with Be-a-Pro. It's weird getting used to only controlling one player on the ice after 15 years (holy shit...) of controlling everyone.

I already made the Fly guys. Too bad even in fantasy world, I'm stuck playing with Jim Fucking Dowd. I try to slash him in between faceoffs.

[deadstar]

Hey, it'll be just like real life!

[Kram41]

Hey, it'll be just like real life!

hahahahaha

[we are cured]

I already made the Fly guys. Too bad even in fantasy world, I'm stuck playing with Jim Fucking Dowd. I try to slash him in between faceoffs.

yeah i just got called up, scored in my second game. i'm on a defensive pairing with paul mara.

[deadstar]

It would be much more funny if the Rangers signed Malik and made him your d partner.

[xbrokendownx]

just outshot some guy 31-5 on route to an easy win lol

[acfrue]

the online community play is the most addicting thing ive played in a long time, well besides call of duty 4

[Kram41]

I love that Thorne and Clement get on me every game for trying too many chances from the slot.

[xbrokendownx]

i lost like 4 one goal games in a row before finally winning

[Brandon Allin]

I am awful at this game, but I love it. If anyone ever wants to play, just shoot me a message.

GT: Allin45

In other words, easy wins for you.

[xbrokendownx]

how the fuck do you make your center win faceoffs in be a pro? seriously my guy doesnt win any (im a wing)

[Kram41]

how the fuck do you make your center win faceoffs in be a pro? seriously my guy doesnt win any (im a wing)

Yeah, I'm thinking about switching my guy from wing to center in that game. I can't get my centers to do what I want at all.

[Brandon Allin]

how the fuck do you make your center win faceoffs in be a pro? seriously my guy doesnt win any (im a wing)
I'm not sure why you're center won't, but I play right wing, and my center wins roughly half of the draws he takes.

[xbrokendownx]

yea my center wins 5% of the draws maybe, its fuckin annoying

[Killadelphia]

yea my center wins 5% of the draws maybe, its fuckin annoying

play better to get on a new line? on the phantoms, my guys won faceoffs all the time.

[xbrokendownx]

im on the 2nd line, just had a 2G 1A game. im playing fine but Lowell just blows haha

[Kram41]

I just started playing online games. What are do the numbers underneath the player names mean that start at zero at the beginning of the game?

[xbrokendownx]

it adds up to your EA sports world profile. go to EAsportsworld.com and you can make a profile

i have no idea how you get points or whatever though

[VoiceoffCamera]

how the fuck do you make your center win faceoffs in be a pro? seriously my guy doesnt win any (im a wing)

I'm having the same problem and my guy is on the 1st line

[Killadelphia]

you guys know you can in random games with your guy by going to the EA League Community whatever, right?

[xbrokendownx]

I'm having the same problem and my guy is on the 1st line




haha are you playing for Lowell? the lines are sooo fucked up. if youre Lowell, bring Mattias Tedenby (HV-71), Alexander Vasyunov (Lokomotiv Yaroslavl), and Vladimir Zharkov (CSKA Moscow) over...itll help

[VoiceoffCamera]

haha are you playing for Lowell? the lines are sooo fucked up. if youre Lowell, bring Mattias Tedenby (HV-71), Alexander Vasyunov (Lokomotiv Yaroslavl), and Vladimir Zharkov (CSKA Moscow) over...itll help

Yeah i'm playing for Lowell...I'll do that once the Brewers lose. How do you bring the guys over?

I'm pretty sure the team has won 1 face off and that was when my guy took a face off during a power play.

[xbrokendownx]

haha yea, most of the guys are awful. rasmussen isnt that bad at them, but hes terrible otherwise and centering my first line for some reason

to bring the guys over, just go to the player movement screen and select Tedenby, etc and then execute move. you may have to send back 1 guy from Lowell from what i remember to stay under the roster limit, so just pick the guy with the worst rating. itll ask you what NHL team to affiliate with and just pick Devils

Vasyunov is straight nastyyyy. hes an 82 i think

[VoiceoffCamera]

Ok sweet...haha Pelley got sent down to Lowell and is centering my first line. He is terrible.

[Killadelphia]

haha are you playing for Lowell? the lines are sooo fucked up. if youre Lowell, bring Mattias Tedenby (HV-71), Alexander Vasyunov (Lokomotiv Yaroslavl), and Vladimir Zharkov (CSKA Moscow) over...itll help

yeah, welll....I'm playing with Jim Fucking Dowd, not even a Flyer, on the third line for the Flyers.

Also, Glen Metropolit is the second line LW.

Also, I put LW, they put me @ RW.

[Kram41]

Haha, I just got womped in my first two online games. Apparently I need to practice quite a bit.

[xbrokendownx]

in the original game i think they had Asham as the 2nd line RW for the Flyers lol

[pand75]

haha my girlfriend is playing now and she's beating some guy 2-1. amazinnnnng

[Markus1186]

I just got myself a gordie howe hat-trick + 2 assists.. Only the second time i've seen a fight online and my guys set to fight rarely.

[VoiceoffCamera]

in the original game i think they had Asham as the 2nd line RW for the Flyers lol

Can i make those roster moves when i have already started be a pro or do I have to do it before?

[Killadelphia]

Can i make those roster moves when i have already started be a pro or do I have to do it before?

do it before I'd assume.

[xbrokendownx]

ya you gotta do it before. i was only like 2-3 games in when i realized lowell sucked ass so i brought those guys in and im decent now

[VoiceoffCamera]

damn that sucks since I'm like 10-4 and have 11 goals...I don't want to start over again lol

[xbrokendownx]

love outshooting guys like 44-13 and losing 1-0...

[Kram41]

I'm really lucky this game came out a few weeks before I start work...

can I just add it and access it from my comp?

[xbrokendownx]

i assume you m ean through media connect, and yea you can, i figured out how to do it. in windows media player. i only did goal songs, you have to make each goal song into a different playlist by itself to do it, but it takes 2 seconds. i added every teams goal song and it works, its cool

[Killadelphia]

the third jersey code will probably not be released until November.

[Markus1186]

Man playing as goalie online is real fun. Got sick rasta pads too.

[kemichels]

anyone want to start a club? or invite me to join theirs? haha. I wanna play EASHL online...I'm pretty decent.

GT: Dracunus

[Killadelphia]

you can play in the eashl community.

[kemichels]

I don't know how to get to a game...you have to join a club first, i thought?

[xbrokendownx]

go to online community

[Markus1186]

What do you guys play online more, VS or team play?

[kemichels]

I want to do team play, but i'd like ot take my own create a player online and do it that way..havent figured out how without joining a club team.

[xbrokendownx]

go to Online Community and you can play with your be a pro online im pretty sure

[kemichels]

k, ill check it. thanks man!

[Markus1186]

online game modes > online team play > custom match (custom team play)

[dont you move]

sorry I haven't been playing online lately. damn work

[Killadelphia]

online game modes > online team play > custom match

no.

[Markus1186]

yes. thats how I play my team games.

[kemichels]

I really want to get in on this club stuff. I imagine it'd be fun.

Other than than that, I just had my first 2 goal game online (and an assist) as a defenseman. w000000000t.

[iihungrieii]

i got present 4 u guys

http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=0&t=930804

[Killadelphia]

it's not that big of a present.

1 - CCM/Koho doesn't make NHL jerseys anymore.
2 - the jerseys are all different styles
3 - they're very limited and most of the sizes suck.

Thanks though.

[iihungrieii]

nvm, thought this was the nhl thread, i just realized it was the game thread, and i saw that scott posted it in the other one already

[kemichels]

haha whatever,

slickdeals is awesome.

[Markus1186]

nah im not on a club team

[CarlosLunes]

soooo i shouldnt buy 2k9?

yea, plus lots of teams changed their jerseys all together after the RBK change. i'd absolutely jump at this though if they were the current jeresys.
i havn't found a stars jersey under 80 bucks so far anywhere.

[kemichels]

how you usually play? just online community? or ranked vs games?

[Markus1186]

I play ranked team games as my player.

[xbrokendownx]

soooo i shouldnt buy 2k9?




definitely not. NHL 09 is the best hockey game ever

[zeropunk16]

definitely not. NHL 09 is the best hockey game ever

Amen to that. 2K9 is shit compared to NHL09.

[kemichels]

I play ranked team games as my player.

So you go to Online Game Community...join games that are ranked/create games that are ranked?

I'm doing that but it's not counting towards my record...I'm pretty sure I get +/-, grades for my own character as they show up at the end up the game, but it's not going towards my record. Any idea how that works?

Cause it's for your be a pro stuff with the online league. Of course it doesn't effect your record. For your record to change, you have to play ranked versus play with real teams.

If you goto performance meter or whatever it is and hit RB, it'll show you all of your online statistics, and there will be your career W-L record when you are YOU, and your career +/-, etc.

[pand75]

GG perry. I don't have a headset yet so yeah lol.

[dont you move]

GG perry. I don't have a headset yet so yeah lol.

haha I didn't realize my mic was on really
I commented on the game in the NHL thread

[CarlosLunes]

i got the game last night, its a really fucking great game

[pand75]

you have XBL?

[CarlosLunes]

no, and im not getting stomped out in this game after just getting it

[pand75]

lol alright.

[xbrokendownx]

so i have like 17 goals in like 20 games for the Devils and i moved up to the first line for like 3 games, scored like 4 goals, and i got demoted to the 2nd line again. wtf?

[deadstar]

I could really go for some drunk NHL 09 right now. I used to have some friends over and we'd drink and do shootouts before we went out. Tons of fun.

Only another week or 2 until by roommate's 2nd xbox is fixed. Defective peices of junk.

[xbrokendownx]

i suck at shootouts. i usually just deke 45 times and sometimes the goalies go down

[deadstar]

Haha well we switch off between computer and manual goalies. My go to move is come in on one side, forehand, backhand, forehand shoot. Takes some tries to get the timing down, but usually works on comp controlled goalies.

Oh and obvisouly it helps if you're a good deker, or even fast. Moves rarely work with the slower, less skilled players, which is nice. Pretty realistic.

[livethesounds]

this game pisses me off. whenever i'm playing a season, i'll be in a defensive game until i score say late in the 2nd or 3rd period, and then IMMIDEATLY after that they come back and score some bullshit goal. almost every time that happens.

[dont you move]

change up your defensive and forecheck pressure cuz the computer adjusts to your play. that happened to me all the time for the first few games but then I started playing the trap after I score and I end up winning 1-0, 2-0, etc.

[AshesAshes]

Picked this up yesterday love it so far

[Chris M.]

Has anyone else noticed that in that NHL 09 commercial with that girl talking about how much she loves hockey it shows Kyle Wellwood throwing a hit on a Canadiens player? Pretty unrealistic I'd say.

[pand75]

Yeah I hate that commercial. She's such an idiot

[acfrue]

online team play is the most addicting thing ive played probably since call of duty 4

[acfrue]

ive never seen that commercial, maybe its just a canada thing, right now im seeing a lot, like a shit ton, of nba live 09 commercials...there are only a few things i hate more than basketball, but basketball video games are one, they require no skill what so ever

[StuGrimson]

For anyone in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal etc there is going to be a big NHL 09 xbox demo and giveaway and stuff at some malls next week. Very very hot girls will be running the show too.

[acfrue]

FZ1st1Vw2kY
this is one of my favorite video game commercials

why would you play this offline, the team online and club play is so much fun

[livethesounds]

why would you play this offline, the team online and club play is so much fun

because i like playing seasons? i've played a few online games, but haven't played any club games yet. i'm pretty sure the AP hockey club has like 4 people (including me), so we need a few more before we can really play a game.
i love be a pro, so i'm sure it would be fun as hell.

and i live in texas, so no i cant start a club with my friends because i'm one of about 1,000 people (outside of Dallas) that care about hockey.

[xbrokendownx]

haha yea playing a game on a club team is so fun...im on the HF boards devils team and theres always 3-4 guys on every night

[we are cured]

in my dynasty, i noticed a glitch that the islanders have this little indian girl named sabrina ladha in goal. she's a fucking 98, and near impossible to beat in the shootout. i wanna take her out but that would require me to start over. fuck

[xbrokendownx]

the leafs have her in my game! shes sick!

[mikearduini9]

Apparently she's a make-a-wish kid or something, and she's on free agency so any team can pick her up.

[CarlosLunes]

yeah i pick her up and trade her

[VoiceoffCamera]

haha i'm playing Nashville and that girl is in goal...I've gotten like 80 shots and can't score

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

She's tough to beat but not impossible. I want to say her weakness is a double move, stick side. I beat her in a shootout once, but I scored 2 goals on her in regulation too in Be A Pro. I know for sure one was a slapper, top right from between the circles.

[HoustonCalling]

i played last night for the first time. so good.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

i keep wanting to spend my one day off a week (Monday: school/work, Tues work/work, Weds school/work, Thurs work @4, Friday school, nap for Friday night, Saturday/Sunday work all day) cleaning my room or doing extra homework...but always end up playing NHL instead.

[VoiceoffCamera]

She's tough to beat but not impossible. I want to say her weakness is a double move, stick side. I beat her in a shootout once, but I scored 2 goals on her in regulation too in Be A Pro. I know for sure one was a slapper, top right from between the circles.

Yeah i was able to score on her in Be A Pro. I got one goal then like 20 seconds later i scored another 2.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

game is so addicting. I have a C who I play with the most, then an offensive Dman and a goalie

[Killadelphia]

do you do the online team play with your guy?

I need to get on a team because I left my other one.

[marrost]

Still no shootout/breakaway goals. This is bullshit haha.

I can score with wrist shots, slap shots, and one timers from all over the ice, but whenever I try to deke it's a total disaster.

[xbrokendownx]

ive found that if you deke like 15 times in a shootout sometimes the goalie will go down and you can just shoot it high and youre golden

[Killadelphia]

Still no shootout/breakaway goals. This is bullshit haha.

I can score with wrist shots, slap shots, and one timers from all over the ice, but whenever I try to deke it's a total disaster.

Also, depending on whether you're lefty/righty, come across the ice the opposite way of your stick handedness.

So for me, I'm lefty, so I go from left to right. Then I hold the puck back to the left and down to hold it back for a wrist shot. Then I put it top left corner.

[marrost]

Ah so just cheat the goalie haha got it.

I've been doing Pro mode mostly. Made it to the Blackhawks first line as a LW after maybe 35 games, and they sent me back down to line 2 after racking up the most points on the team and bringing them from 12th to 2nd. BS.

I want to get online, but only know like 1 kid with this game, and he works a weird schedule so hes not even on that much when I am.

I gave the controller to my girlfriend the last time I got to a shootout, since I suck, and she scored twice haha.

dude, goto community, online team play. You can play with randomers there with your guy.

[xbrokendownx]

yea same thing happened w me w the Devils...no lie, i scored 4 goals one game on the top line and then they sent me down to the 2nd line

and yea, go to online community...much better to play with real people instead of the computer

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

do you do the online team play with your guy?

I need to get on a team because I left my other one.
I need to get on a team because I've never had one so I always play offline. PS3 or 360 though?

[AshesAshes]

This game frustrates the hell out of me. I outshoot the Thrasers 31-11 and lose 3-1

[xbrokendownx]

what level are you playing on? try lots of one timers and try to change up your offensive and defensive aggression and style of play

[AshesAshes]

what level are you playing on? try lots of one timers and try to change up your offensive and defensive aggression and style of play

I'm on All-Star right now I usually just play Pro so I'm not use to changing up my Aggression I need to learn that. I might drop it down to Pro and mess around with everything until I get the hang of it.

[dont you move]

lol i have 62 goals in like >50 games and i'm still on the second line. playing all star mode, too.

[AshesAshes]

If anyone still plays this we should try and make a league/team

[acfrue]

haha, does anyone enjoy playing goalie as much as i do? all my friends say i'm a retard for playing it but i love it (plus i'm not too bad at it).

[AshesAshes]

I started a career as one to try it out I had tons of fun. I just prefer not to be a goalie and stopped playing it though.

[SwiftSilentDead]

I got this game for Christmas. I love it.

[AshesAshes]

My friend had it for the past month finally got it back tonight. Do you play online?

[SwiftSilentDead]

Nah. I still play on a PS2 and my Network Adaptor broke awhile ago.

[acfrue]

I play online sometimes, usually Online Team Play.

[we are cured]

i've been without the game for over 2 weeks now, i keep getting 'the disc is unreadable'...and no it's not my xbox because every other game works.

[deadstar]

i've been without the game for over 2 weeks now, i keep getting 'the disc is unreadable'...and no it's not my xbox because every other game works.
Look up how to clear Xbox's cache. It worked for me.

[we are cured]

if that works i will never diss the pens again

[deadstar]

Haha. Even I cant hold you to that.

[xbrokendownx]

still loving this game...dont play it as much since ive been wrapped up in nba2k9 but still awesome

[we are cured]

had the chance to play it on ps3 last week, and the gameplay was definitely a little different. still great, but it had the feel of like the old nhl games, gameplay wise anyway.

[lenard27]

I am absolutely addicted to BAP mode. I'm in my 3rd season. The only problem I have with it is Crosby and I are always switching between 1st and 2nd line, even though I'm averaging over 1.5 points per game.

[Capital H]

I am absolutely addicted to BAP mode. I'm in my 3rd season. The only problem I have with it is Crosby and I are always switching between 1st and 2nd line, even though I'm averaging over 1.5 points per game.

Yeah, I have the same problem with my BAP. I'm using Marc Savard and I went ten straight games with at least one point, and then my last game I didn't get one and they said something along the lines of "you can't be on line one if you can't handle it, you're going down to line 2"

[lenard27]

Yeah, I created my own players as a center. I had a 6 point game (the only one I've ever had, 4 goals, 2 assists) and got demoted before the next game even though Crosby was a minus 3 in that game.

On the NHL 09 message boards the developers created a thread about what you would change about the game and BAP a while back for NHL 2010 and there were a lot of good suggestions, so I hope they listen to them.

[acfrue]

NHL 2010 and The Show 09 are two of my most anticipated games coming out this year.

[lenard27]

NHL 2010 and The Show 09 are two of my most anticipated games coming out this year.
Mine too
Especially the improvement they made to The Show. I'm so pumped for it.
And if they take the suggestions that many people said to make with BAP mode on the forums, NHL 2010 might be the best game ever.

[acfrue]

Mine too

NHL 09 is probably the best sports game ever with Tiger Woods 08 coming in second.

[AshesAshes]

Just got my first hat trick with my be a pro guy tonight. Finally getting use to the game

[lenard27]

Just got my first hat trick with my be a pro guy tonight. Finally getting use to the game
Yeah, I've gotten so used to BAP that I suck at playing normally. I'm only used to controlling one guy now.

[acfrue]

the exact same thing happened to me.

Is there any reason why I can't use Varlamov for the Caps? They update the rosters online everytime you play....what's the point of doing it when they don't add/remove players from teams?

Probably because it's the playoffs. The rosters are probably still set at what the rosters were at the end of the regular season.

[kemichels]

I hope he's a beast next year, considering how well he's done!

[AshesAshes]

I hope next year they get rid of all the glitches in this game.

He's on the roster for Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the Russian Superleague. :-)

Why wouldn't they move him over though? I don't understand.

The one where the puck falls on the goalies back and he lays back and it goes in is fucking atrocious.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Not sure, I'm still playing on a PS2 and my online adapter broke.

Just saying, if you want to find him, he's there. He's rated an 80.

[robat19]

You could probably move him over for offline play.

[kshtoinks12]

This game is ridiculous.

[SwiftSilentDead]

You could probably move him over for offline play.

Yeah, it's pretty easy.

I play this game after school every day. Almost done with my season with the Capitals.

[blackandblueNFG]

i'm sure this has been asked/answered already, but is there a more effective solution than clearing the cache to make NHL 09 work properly on the 360?

[WakingTheMisery]

Anybody want to play this for 360? I'm bored as shit.

[robat19]

I'll play you.

[WakingTheMisery]

I'm headed out right now. I have to pick up my brothers car and some liquor for him (damn underage kids). I should be back in about a half hour if you still want to play. The username is Cryptoc00kie.

[robat19]

I'll be on around 5:45 or so.

[kshtoinks12]

You can't do a draft?!

[robat19]

Henry, we need to play some OTP later tonight.

[WakingTheMisery]

I'm definitely down for a game in a little bit. My brother wants to challenge you to a game. Haha.

[robat19]

haha, alright. I'll get on around 9.

[AshesAshes]

The one where the puck falls on the goalies back and he lays back and it goes in is fucking atrocious.

Hahaha, I get pretty mad when that shit happens. I hate playing kids online who just fire slap shots from the side of the net I stopped playing online with all the glitch goals.

[robat19]

The toe drag at the top of the circle with a wrist shot and the one where they stand on the goal line and wheel out piss me off. They can score every time.

[WakingTheMisery]

My brother calls glitch every time some one scores on him.

[robat19]

Your brother glitched on me.

[WakingTheMisery]

Hahaha what a douche.

[robat19]

Yeah, he tried to apologize after he did and said he wouldn't do it again. Fucking Poland.

[WakingTheMisery]

To be fair you did pick Japan.

[robat19]

I think their ratings are about equal with Poland. I didn't want to pick a good team and then lose.

[SwiftSilentDead]

I won the Stanley Cup in my first year on Franchise mode this morning. Took me long enough to finish one season, haha.

[Broken Parachute]

I've been playing at my friends house a lot recently. I suck, but I'm getting better, haha. I need to get a 360. Damn.

[kshtoinks12]

Who wants to play me right now?

[acfrue]

There has been some speculation that Kane is going to be on the cover of NHL 10, someone found this on the NHL 10 website:

[xbrokendownx]

[SwiftSilentDead]

Bad ass.

[jgirard]

I still don't understand why he has a mouth guard, it's never in his mouth.....but he's one hell of a player
