2K Sports has just sent us this trailer from NHL 2K9.

*Update: We've just added some screenshots as well.

Woah... it looks surprisingly amazing. Huge step up graphically from 2K8.

I have to admit I'm not much of a NHL 2k guy. I liked the older games, but as with baseball, I thought Kush just drug the games through the mud. Whatever Kush did, it ended up having 50 bugs that just killed the game.

THAT being said--now that they took NHL back inhouse to VC it's looking pretty nice. The trailer and things like the new fighting engine do look excellent. I wrote the NHL 2k series off, but I'm going to give 2k9 a serious look.

So I am a little excited about this game. It could be a sleep hit with hockey fans. Especially ones that want a real franchise mode. Can't say if this is going to be a rebirth of the franchise from it's old days--but it does have my interest now.

I used to be a big @k Hockey guy, Until EA came back from the dead, yes this video looked pretty damn good, but there still something about the way the players move I'm not liking, like it doesn't have the fluidness as EA's NHL players.

Wow , I have to say if that is how the game really looks in action ( looks life-like to me ) Then this game get a serious look from me, and I've been on the EA hockey bandwagon!

Looks surprisingly good! Hope I can afford 2 hockey games this year.

Easy choice for me 2k/VC who also does NBA2k brought back Fun and Sim to this series plus EA is going ONLINE or bust with little or nothing for offline next year they should just do a online release as nothing has been added to their dynasty since 07
So Its 2k9 for me shame I couldnt have 2 good games this year
