Can anyone help me out? I bought the game yesterday and seem to like it, but I cannot play without the goalie skating off the ice seemingly each time I hit the player change.

I have a new MS Xbox/PC controller. If there is a modification or someway I can "fix" my controller please let me know.

Did you make sure your controller is compatible?

NHL 09 gamepad problems

nbritz22

Same problem, found out it was when I would accidentally press the left joystick BUTTON. So I checked out the control panel/game controllers to find out what the button numbers corresponded to the joystick buttons. They are 9 and 10 (left and right, respectively). So now I would like to know how to switch buttons 7 and 8 (back and start) with 9 and 10. This is my only sports game for PC and I just bought the Xbox wireless controller. I usually play FPS games with mouse/keyboard and there is just NO substitue, so I bought NHL 09 so I could use my controller. I have read, and what pisses me off, is that (especially EA games) offer little or no support for this controller. WTF?? Why are the controls like the start button binded for something else? Pressing the start button SHOULD bring up the pause menu, but instead I press the right joystick button. Should be no different than playing this game on Xbox 360. There is no way I would play a sports game with a damn keyboard. Let me be clear, the controller works GREAT for this game, except buttons 7 and 8 need to be switched with 9 and 10. 9 and 10 are not an option under controller setup (within the game). Please help! Thanks.
