Re: Operation Sports 2008 Hockey Game of the Year

NHL 09 keeps pissing me off, I don't even play it anymore. The goalies are idiots sometimes.

I've really tried to like the game. On offense, it's good. Possibly great.
But when my goalie gives up a goal just because of the desperation save animation, it pisses me off.
I see the desperation save animation way too often.

NHL 09's demo was better than 2K9's full version.

NHL 2K9. NHL 09 is pretty, but NHL 2K9 is the most authentic hockey game on the market, bar none. Every arena, every goal, every play feels different. NHL 09 gets very stale after your fifth season, despite having the better gameplay mechanics. 2K9 keeps it varied and different every single time you play...for that reason, I had WAY more fun with 2K's game this year.

Re: Operation Sports 2008 Hockey Game of the Year

I know this vote won't count for anything official, but:

NHL '09

Seriously, people say things like "Well, if you're not a graphics whore, then you might appreciate 2k9 for it's gameplay and physics." Okay then, but if graphics, controls, and all of that don't matter, what you're basically saying is that you like NHL 2k5 better than NHL '09, since 2k hasn't changed the engine in that game over the past 6 years. This one isn't even close.

Cheating AI, poor AI, almost non-existent defense, huge lack of goalie animations, poor controls, poor/choppy skating by the AI, pucks that float through goalies and other players, etc.

People complain about Madden until the cows come home, and the NBA 2k9 clipping is getting ragged on big time - but everyone seems to completely ignore it all in NHL 2009 and seems to think the game is a "masterpiece".

They're both pure crap. There is no "Hockey Game of the Year" this year.

Sorry for the rant - but really, the only sports games I care about are NHL. I buy the 2k football games and I enjoy them (NFL 2k5, and All-Pro 2k8), but when it comes down to it, the NHL games are really the games I'm passionate about, and really want to see done properly. I've seen attempts that went in the right direction and then completely turned around. It's getting so frustrating that I've almost given up on hockey games. No one seems to get it; they just always throw in glitz and glamor and ignore the guts of hockey. They try to make it so that every trip up the ice is a highlight reel, when it's not.
DITTO!!

I was waiting to see if anyone agreed with me
