Just found this cool video showing a new feature. Sounds like a really good idea.

Plus a video on new features. From the looks of it this should be the most realistic game put out for hockey.

These links are having trouble loading. I did see a good trailer for the movie Mirrors though.

From the videos I\'ve seen so far, it seems that they\'re going overboard with the lobbing of pucks. Players are doing it all the time and it looks weird.

As long as they fix the penalty dynamics in 09, I\'ll be happy. In 08 (on 360) I\'ve only gotten tripping, elbowing, interference, fighting and slashing. I\'ve never ever gotten a hooking or holding penalty. No boarding, no charging, no cross-checking, etc, etc. Plus the CPU player gets on average one penalty every three games. It\'s ridiculous.

The Hockey Guild is going to field multiplayer online teams for the 2008-09 season and give prizes to the team who wins the Stanley Cup. :P

everyone is quick to volunteer for the dobber league until they find out about the intense physical hazing and grueling training.

Someone has started another thread on this but the PS3 demo is up but the 360 demo isn\'t due for another week.
