maybe if more people hope that, it will go away.
i'm going back to bed, after i take a "shit" - more like pissing out of your ass. go beer go.

i'm still getting used to the new hockey game, i have the EA "offering" but haven't even fired it up because I'm not ready to be disappointed yet. The Sega Sports one is still impressing me every time I play it. I'm usually lazy about the goalie though and prefer mauling attackers with defensemen. I'll check on the goalie control though, no reason why it shouldn't be there.

My favorite hockey games... a list!

NHL 98
NES Hockey
NHL Powerplay 96
NHL Powerplay 98
Faceoff
Wayne Gretzky Hockey III
... Ah, some non-EA game from a few years back. The one with Forsberg on it.

I just got tired of EA's transparent shenanigans with goalie control. Fifty bucks for a game that was useless in head-to-head mode because you couldn't control the goalie was really starting to add up.

Oh! I thought you were leading me towards buying an EA product. OK, I'm all ears again.

I will. Thank you for this update! I hope you're not hung over today, BTW.

If i'm not mistaken, it is still $30 less than EA's crapfest;

bonus.

I'm in. I'll buy it. Who needs you, Tampa Bay SUCKANEERS???!?@#$#!>?@

I'm done with football. When does hockey start?
