At least I've gotten the poke checking down. My friends that come over and play average 10 to 15 tripping calls a game.

Word. I'm getting good a sliding in front of shots on the ice. Works really good for slappers and even some breakaways.

Custom Music
The one feature I am most excited about above all others is the new custom music option added to the game this year. If you own a next gen system and have some of your favorite hockey tunes on your hard drive then you can add these songs in each NHL arena for up to 13 different occasions during a game. So if you want to hear Blur playing “Rock and Roll Part II” after a goal the power is yours. Want to annoy your friends and have “Cotton Eyed Joe” blasting during a portion of the game then by all means have at it. When showing off this feature EA even had a little Guns N Roses “Welcome to the Jungle” blaring as the players came down the runway for the pre game intro, nice touch!

Not since ditties were removed from the PC community have we had this much of an option when it comes to music in our games.


This is going to be suh-weeeet!

I'm playing Dirty Deeds - AC/DC for penalities!

Word! I'm also really stoked about the new fighting system. Looks like it might be more than just an afterthought, finally!

The last hockey game that had fighting that I actually enjoyed was NHLPA 93!!

We should definitely form a VN team up to play in the 6-on-6 matches.

Who else plays on here besides us three?

I work 2nd shift so it would depend on my off days.

I'm not the best goalie, but I'm far from terrible.

OK, it's offical. I'm looking forward to this game more than the start of the college football season.

Holy s&#t I completely missed the MMO part. I'm glad you said something I had to go back and listen some more. That sounds completely awesome. We must start a guild.

Wow when they were talking about a groundbreaking online feature they were not exaggerating.
