2K Sports today announced that the highly anticipated hockey title, NHL 2K9, has gone gold and is now ready for production for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Wii home video game system from Nintendo, PLAYSTATION 3 and PlayStation 2 computer entertainment systems. Dedicated fans will enjoy this on-the-ice experience like never before as NHL 2K9 brings the fun back to hockey video games on September 9 in North America.
2K Sports did not even bother with modeling faces for the head coaches in NHL 2K9. While they went the extra mile to include the faces for NBA coaches for NBA 2K9, hockey coaches simply did not rate the effort. According to 2K Sports marketing coordinator Andrew Blumberg, "Most hockey coaches are unrecognizable to casual fans to be perfectly honest."
While dedicated hockey fans eagerly anticipate the first puck to drop for the start of this year's NHL season, 2K Sports today announced that a free demo of NHL 2K9 is now available for download through the PLAYSTATION Network. The demo will provide fans an early chance to experience the new simplified controls and relive the excitement of this past season's thrilling Stanley Cup Final for a brief three minute period as either the Pittsburgh Penguins or Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
