The Bottom Line:

"Amazing"

if you were thinking of getting 2k9 i advise you to get 09 instead, i have both and 2k9 is just collecting dust, 09's graphics and physics are better, the gameplay has less bugs, I've rarely seen any in 09 and the game modes are fun, especially be a pro, playing on an AHL team like hte Phantoms is fun and you would earn you way up to the Flyers or whatever team you chose to play for. Commentary is good but nothing to brag about. Earing new cards for your player is fun and playing online league is the top feature of the game, you can join a team and play with a whole team of user controlled players.

one problem is the fighting engine, fights can end in 2 punches 6 at most. this is the only thing 2k9 had over EA's game. The music is okay, alltogether this is one of the greatest games in a long time and people who arent hockey fans would enjoy it as much as me

a perfect 10 with 2k9 trailing farther and farther behind each year.

Go Flyers!
