Any spot Fut coins on the ice is Fut coins
open to your player--you'll start in the AHL before eventually making it to the National Hockey League. And while every position on the ice looks to offer its own experience, our goal was to check out the defensive position. After all, playing a forward, it seems, won't be terribly different from playing a normal game of NHL--always looking to push the puck up ice, spreading the puck around with passes, and looking for scoring opportunities every chance you get. On the other hand, on defense, you have a chance to try all of those things while focusing on playing solid defensive hockey.
It's not exactly easy to do, but that's not necessarily meant to sound like a criticism. Like in the EA Sports soccer games, playing NHL 09's Be a Pro mode in a defensive position forces you to go against your instincts. Instead of always rushing into your opponent's offensive zone at the first opportunity, you're forced to hang back and try to break up breakaways or look for ways to intercept passes (which seems more effective than ever this year). Then, when you aren't crunching guys into the boards and causing chaos for the opposing offense, you can trail across the blue line, call for a pass (by pressing the right trigger on the Xbox 360 controller), and take a big slap shot from the line
