I thought there was a thread but for all of the searching in the world I couldn't find shit.
This game is pretty great, although it still has some issues imo (I don't like aiming shots in ANY sports game with the movement stick).
Anyway, to start it off, here are two videos I uploaded from my games

yes, hockey... I still gotta play this thing. haven't touched a hockey game since NHL '92 (I think?) for the Genesis. I was always the Nordiques back then. I imagine there's not a single Nordique anywhere in this one.

Well, I think you can play as the Avalanche and turn vintage jerseys on. So you can kinda have the Nordiques. Plus, you can play in Dynasty Mode, sign Forsberg and Sundin (free agents as of the game's roster), you've already got Sakic... Jocelyn Thibault is also a free agent... that's pretty close, right? Chris Simon's probably somewhere in there too.
You can also create custom guys AND teams AND the Quebec logo is probably available, so you can remake them as you please!

I think I only picked the Nordiques because of their logo. And the fact that they seemed like a challenge.
I know almost nothing about the NHL, unfortunately. Is Ilya Kovalchuk still with the Thrashers?

yes^
I heard this was awesome. does it do roster updates online like nba?
― bnw, Monday, 6 October 2008 19:50 (sixteen years ago)
Yep! You have to go to the roster updates button but they are pretty up-to-date!

This is the first non-baseball sports game I've played in over a decade. Have the analogue sticks and shoulder buttons replaced the standard face button controls in Madden and NBA games, too? Flicking the right stick is so much more satisfying then just mashing triangle, or whatever.

In Madden and NBA you use the stick to fake people out, but use the X button to shoot in NBA and the different buttons to pass in Madden. In MLB 2K8 you use the stick to pitch and hit, and it works pretty well (especially the pitching). They also use the stick for Tiger Woods golf, and especially for Skate. Also, a lot of these games offer different controller settings to mess around with if you don't like the default.

this is a lot of fun, even though I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, for the most part.

I loved the demo. First NHL game that I am thinking about buying since NHL 94.

I also haven't played a hockey game since the early 90s, but have been hearing so much good stuff about the last couple years of this series & it does look very, very good
