Sean Leahy has a detailed review of EA Sports NHL 09, which was released yesterday in many stores in NA. I managed to pick it up and my initial reaction is the same as Leahy's: this is the electronic equivalent to crack. I've only just begun the "Be a Pro" journey, but just three games in I can see that I'll be doing a lot less sleeping, eating, reading and paying attention to loved ones in the forseeable future (especially since real hockey starts soon too).
I haven't tried joining an online league or team yet - I figure I'll need to be at least passably acceptable as a player first. Still, if anyone else has a PS3 out there, look me up and feel free to add me as a friend (mgnome9).
