How is the game play? Let me know what you all think.

What are you talking about? There are a lot of online features in NHL 09, roster updates, online team play, online head-to-head, etc.

2K9 is a pretty good game. It has its flaws, mainly graphics and a CPU offense that is not very creative or potent but it's still very good. I'm not an online gamer at all so I can't compare the online portions of 09 and 2K9. There is online head-to-head and online 5 vs 5. There has not yet been a roster update released but one should be coming soon.
