2K Hockey was the tits back in the day....I played the crap out of 2K3, 2K4, 2K5 and 2K6....I was ranked in the top 10 at one point or another in all of them. I felt 2K7 was a HUGE step back though, especially with EA introducing next-gen hockey with their NHL 07. I bought both again this year hoping 2K8 would be solid, but again was utterly disappointed. I finished my league commitment at another site and got rid of 2K8 as quick as I could. I'm going to hold off on purchasing 2K9 until I get a chance to rent it and see how it is. I'm excited that Visual Concepts is back in charge of the game, so here's hoping they can produce a quality game this year.
i was montreal for that season. nice to see 2k series back at lg. i would like to play in this for sure.
I loved NHL 2k6 and 2k7. 2k8 was a joke. If 2k9 goes back to the arcade style that 2k6 and 2k7 had then i might buy it just so i can dominate italian.
I would love to get back into a 2k league, this year I will be buying both games so I will be active in both leagues hopefully.
