News on NHL 09 EASports?

Question

I've been following the NHL EASports series since NHL04. I'm really excited for 09, but can't find anything about it anywhere.

I've seen fake things; the cover with Selanne on it, the "Dive Stick" replacing the skill stick (which will hopefully never happen) and many other stupid rumors.

If you have any information that you are PRETTY SURE is true, then tell me. Post a link if there is one.

Thanks! Go Wings!

Answer 1

It is being released Sept 9th of 2008. The "Dive Stick" is completly false. However, I have heard they MIGHT be adding Goal Songs (The actual ones sung at the arenas) into the game.

Answer 2

Cant wait for it... I loved 08 but sadly it broke... R.I.P NHL 08... just waiting for 09 baby lol

Answer 3

Should be a great game.

What's a dive stick?

Answer 4

All of the games in the series usually (or always) come out around the beginning of September.  Expect news on 09' around then.
