Yeah its not perfect but spend some time playing online and its wicked. some of the strongest points come from on-line play in my opinion, as the GS review said there is no lag (unlike 2k8 for me), or not as much ;). though, offline it does the job of being a good addictive hockey game. with some tweaks of the sliders it can be a fast paced arcade game or a pretty good sim. The downfall appears in the franchise mode, with nearly everything good about 2k's franchise modes has disappeared. so if you want to get serious in depth with a hockey game 2k9 isnt for you. though if you just want a all guns blazing with a no-frills season/franchise or tight online play, in a minimalistic way, then go get 2k9.

although the gameplay can be a bit choppy in places it dosnt really matter to me, for the price i paid for this game it gives me a very fun hockey game, albeit with some minor flaws. just alone you should get this game just for the immense puck dynamics and 'little things' which havnt appeared in anyother hockey game that i've ever played. from the french annoucer at candian games to retired numbers on the walls and immculate stadium details.

if the graphics where as good as NHL 09 this game would be a winner. though i can live with the graphics being as they are and still come out as a fairly happy 2ksports customer.

one can only hope they unleash the beast on 2k10!
