Yup, I can't wait.

How long does it take to work your way to the NHL in Be a Pro mode?

For a skater it is basically 13-16 games. Sometimes it depends on how good the NHL team is, and if they dont need you, it would be tough to get in. Its like, if you are on the AHL team for the Rangers as a goalie, and lundqvist has like a 12-1 record, it might take a while..it depends. But it is possible that you could be a backup and start playing every 3 other games. It just really depends.. Also on one of my BAP, I got traded in like 5 games from the AHL and they sent me right to the NHL. (Tampa Bay :P)

Haha. TB.

I hope I get drafted to a good team. If I get the Devils I would just start over. It looks so fun. I can't wait.

Haha, you dont get drafted. You would pick the Flyers, they would start you out in the AHL, and then you work your way up, with those risks of getting traded..so forth. There are no drafts. (:[b]

Oh that's cool. Can you request to get traded?

In Madden superstar mode you get drafted so I just assumed you did in this.

Ah, no you cant. =\ I wish you could but hey, its the first time theres been a BAP in a hockey game. Its pretty dang good for its first try. Im pretty sure they will expand on it greatly next seasons game. With requesting trades..raises maybe. This year you basically cannot do anything with your gm.

I'm not mad or anything. I'm just happy they have the mode. I can't wait to use it. I've been wanting this mode for years now.

Flyers play the Islanders in 10 minutes. It's on stupid Versus. The announcers are so annoying.

I went to the Flyers game tonight and I think it was the best game of hockey in the whole NHL period so far this year.

The Flyers played absolutely horrible. The crowd was quiet pretty much the whole entire game. We were down 5-1 going into the 3rd period and then the Flyers came back and tied it before the end of regulation!

The change in the crowd was amazing. Then it went to the shootout and we won!

It was so much fun. So many people started to leave the game. I feel so bad for them.

Niittymaki (our goalie) played just ok the first 2 periods. Then he played outstanding in the 3rd, OT, and Shootout.

I am just so happy that I got to witness such a great game. My first game since the 05-06 season. It's just so amazing how the whole mood changed.
