HMMMM
I was looking foreward to this game for so long. After getting it and playing it for one day I have to say I am very disappointed in it.
Graphics are crummy you cant read printed stuff on the scrren, the players all look alike and look as if they all have dark tans. Then there is the choppyness of the action on ice, at points during play the game sputtered and jumped.
The instruction manual, ha what joke 5 pages of nothing , didnt realy explain anything outside of using the controls. Took me and friend an hour to figure out how to change rosters(and we both are fairly decent gamers),and do other tweaks. Also players are missing from teams I noticed Nolan Pratt from the Sabres was missing and few other from other teams as well.
I wish EA Sports would put out a Hockey game for the WII now there’s a hockey game to sink your teeth in!!!
If I had to do it all over again I WOULD NOT BUY IT !!!!

2k9 shoots….
2k9 SCORES!!!! The biscuit is in the basket on this one. 3 minutes into the game and I have my first goal. The controls are very intuitive and the moves are easy to perform.

For a first time Wii specific NHL video game, 2k9 has outdone themselves. The online capability would have been nice, but you cant beat the feeling of scoring a goal with your own slapshot.

Buy this game. Take it home. Put on the foil. And play this game.

Best sports title yeat for WII and real sports fans
This is (finally) a great liscenced sports game for the WII that actually has the controls working as more of an afterthought. Getting the controls right on sports titles has been an impossible task for 3rd party publishers.
This game brings back the feel of the mid 90’s hockey titles. I remeber when the hockey games were actually the most fun to play. Last year, controls simply got too tough on the other next gen titles, so I think uncomplicating them was and is the right move.
