I bought the PS3 version of NHL09 a little over a month ago for full price because you simply could not find any hockey games in St.Louis(we love our hockey).Anyhow it is the game I have logged the most time with,the online has me addicted, and leagues and teams still form.Shoot I was worried about being able to find a club,but found 1 the first two days and am being invited to more weekly.The community is great especially if you find a team with a good core group of guys.I wanted Fifa too,especially for its 10v10 online,but at the time had to make a choice.Not sure but think Fifa 10 comes out summer so that one is up to you.Buy NHL09 FOR SURE.
