NHL 09 Community Event Info

The NHL 09 community event was held back at the start of April, and with the embargo having been lifted the first reports have made their way out. A lot more is discussed than what was recently profiled by Gamespot. Included are gameplay related improvements, Be A Pro details, EA Sports World integration, custom sounds (similar to how they are used in NCAA Football 09), a new fighting system, and much more. I’ve linked to several write-ups below.

Building on what many labeled as the best sports game last year, the list of improvements and new features for this year are certainly extensive, with more apparently to come next month including the “massive” feature referenced by Gamespot.
