    No Eddie, I just haven't bought into the whole "built from the ground up" term thrown around over and over when it comes to NHL2k9 like some have. The skaters look better, but the game on the whole, especially the Wii video from E3, looked and played just like 2k8 did. I'm sorry but that doesn't scream out built from the ground up to me. The lack of media less than a month to release sends a message that either 1, their focus is on the Wii due to a lack of focus from EA on that platform, or 2. They know already the're screwed when it comes to the 360/PS3 sku's and aren't even trying. Either scenario isn't a good thing for those of us waiting for an actual Next Gen 2k hockey game 4 years into Next/Current gen.
    What? I thought you were getting that next current gen feeling from EA. I'm shocked. You said 2k9 played like 2k8? So you have an early copy? Your assumptions as to the lack of media are just that and nothing more. Really it's nothing but noise.

      I've already pre-ordered NHL09 based on the hype alone. Yes, I can be a sheep to hype just like I was for Mass Effect and GTAIV (both pre-orders were worth the gamble).

      With 2K, I have no idea what they have in store. They speak about a new engine built from the ground up and simplistic controls. Where's the proof? We're literally 5 weeks away from release and nobody on this planet has seen one video of gameplay for next-gen consoles - only a few measly screenshots.

      When's the last time you saw a 2K developer on these boards? OS is arguably the biggest sports gaming community on the planet and yet 2K treats it like a mouthy, old, wife.
      Meanwhile, teams like EA, SCEA and others chime in quite often to discuss their games and receive input from the people who DO matter - the people with the money.

      With how tight money is these days I'll save mine for a company that actually gives a crap about the community and it's customers.



      I agree that their models look a lot better than they did in 2K8, but if you think 2K9's look 'brilliant' then your head might explode when looking at 08's models. EA still has the best looking graphics and the best skating animations in the business.

      Of course, I'd like to be able to compare the animations I've seen for 09 against 2K9 but then again, there aren't any 2K videos to do that with.
      Again more speculation, and since you already ordered 09 why are you worried so much about 2k's marketing. If it bothers you that much, then don't buy it, it's really simple. Your crying and moaning over something that you really won't purchase anyway.

        Eddie you make it sound like a war. We are just saying where is the videos of 2k9. Like I said before they are putting all their time in the Wii.

          That's fine if that's true but all I'm saying is that we don't know how the game is going to play on the 360/ps3 until we get the game in our hands. It would be nice to have some videos but not having them won't stop ME from purchasing 2k9.

            I just want them to fix the skating engine. And make them play better positioning.

              Hopefully that will be the case. I'm just not in that nhl 08 was the greatest game ever crowd. After half azzn it for 3 years a decent effort last year won't cut it for me. It was an okay game but I'm not letting 3 years of total mediocrity slide. Amazing how some will bash 2k to death for marketing, of all things, yet the marketing king went south for 3 years after nhl 04 and now they are the greatest. Amazing. Talk about bias.

                Er 2k has half assed it on the 360 since 2k6, and please don't twist words around, watch the Wii demo video from E3, the game plays like like 2k8, wwe defensive ai and all.

                EA has their share of issues as well, but they at least appear to be listening to the community and making somewhat major improvements on a yearly basis across the whole title, AI, Graphics, presentation, defensive tools, goaltenders etc. All while adding features like be a pro and the EAHL that don't just consist of fluff like playoff beards and zamboni racing mini games. Give credit where it's due man.

                  It looks like they fixed the skating. I like what I saw.

                    Kind of like you crying and moaning over EA and we know you won't buy that.
                    Meanwhile, I did buy NHL2K8 last year so I'm not nearly as biased as you appear to be.

                      WOW Boys just saw the 3 new videos at gamespot but its from the Wii and im speechless without speech !
                      Heres the good I saw
                      Checks are more deflected realistic as small lesser guys fight to stand up /absorb the check or even deke out of the way.
                      Presentation 4 refs, Arena music they even play bad boys after a penalty.
                      Goalies and players moved properly and were in good position.
                      I could go on and on but when a game has progessing playoff beards and 4 refs it looks like 2k went all out !
                      Players play smart they Ice on the PK , fake pass , they even dump and chase.

                      The bad
                      Goalies had old 2k mask ala das Buckethead
                      Playoff beard look like bees .
                      Puck , shot sound a bit loud.
                      (BUT remember its the Wii version so graphics and detail will be less)
                      So if this was all off the Wii I can only be impressed what the PS3 will play like !
                      Looks like we got our hockey game back boys ! Hell I might even drive the Zamboni

                        Good points. 2k knows what they are doing when it comes to hockey as the previews and videos have shown. The playoff beards did look weird, but hey if it's in the game it's in the game. Now who said that? Can't wait to get this brilliant game in my hands.
