I've never played a 2K Sports title. I was among the throngs of diehards loyal to the EA Sports NHL brand since it first came out on the SNES. Obviously, I've favored Nintendo products over that time too and have enjoyed the series for quite a while on the PC as well.

Since about 2005 EA Sports has forsaken me. Their PC NHL offering was a horrible after-thought retread of seasons past with updated rosters and little more. They stopped making games for the GameCube and have not made any indication that games for the Wii are coming (at least for hockey).

I am eagerly anticipating NHL 2K9.
