Next EASHL Night
With the NHL 09 patch (details here) now out I wanted to arrange for another EASHL night. Hopefully Club Pasta Padre can string together a couple more wins. So meet up in the the dressing room beginning at 8et/5pt on Friday night. If you would like to join in and need an invite to the club (360) go ahead and leave your gamertag in the comments and I'll get that out before start time. I'm looking at recording at least one of the games and posting it up on the site over the weekend....

EASHL Friday Night
So NHL 09's EASHL is a big success. No surprise there given the overwhelmingly positive reaction to the feature. Over 10,000 teams have been created and over 50,000 users involved which are very significant numbers considering how NHL games don't sell all that much (relatively speaking) and then you're cutting into that with only those who play online. Expectations have been exceeded to where EA is adding servers to deal with the load and working on an issues that have arisen. What I find...

EASHL Tonight
Anyone who'd like to take part in some Pasta Padre EASHL action can hop on tonight at about 6PT/9ET. I'll probably be on for a couple hours and I have some more invites to send out this afternoon as well. It was fun on Tuesday night despite not coming away with a win. One discussion that was had during the games on Tuesday regarded a few quick improvements that could be made to make the mode better. Hopefully they'll be able to patch these in or fix them server side because they are simpl...

First EASHL Night
While the structure of the EASHL allows for the opportunity to play with club-mates at any time, I thought it would be a good idea to put together a time for a larger number of players to meet up. Potentially several games for the Pasta Padre club could be played simultaneously if there are more than just the handful that can get into one game. The first organized effort will be Tuesday night at 6PT/9ET with plans to play at least a few games. I'll probably look to set up the next one for...

First EASHL Videos
I went ahead and recorded videos of some of the games. Joining me (#31) was Will Kinsler aka Raczilla of EA Sports (#29), Damon Peterson of Madden Planet (#16), and Vince Waller aka Nix who helps me with the site (#5). I'll have more to put up over the next few days but wanted to get at least a full game for everyone to watch now. I've also got two highlights from EASW with the only goal I've scored and an assist to Rac for his goal. Both came in the same game within the span of about two mi...

EASHL Is Incredible
After spending all night playing EASHL in NHL 09 it is clear that this is one of if not the best feature a sports game has ever offered. I sat down in the early evening and didn't expect to play for very long. Six hours later I was still online. It was probably the most fun I've had playing a video game in years. It easily topped the Online Team Play experience from the 08 games thanks in part to having the games count and having your own self to play for. When the game starts up you crea...
