01:00I remember some of the best times playing video games were back in the old days playing hockey video games.
01:06Hockey games were something you could just grab a controller, pick up, start playing, and have a blast.
01:13I'm really excited today to be talking a little bit about the development of NHL.
01:18NHL had previously been done in our 2K Sports Los Angeles studio.
01:22This year it was moved up to Visual Concepts up in Nevada.

02:18I guarantee, from the second you hit the ice, you're going to be hooked.
02:22There is one question that I keep getting asked.
02:24Does this mean NHL is no longer, 2K9 is no longer a simulation?
02:28Of course it is.
02:302K Sports has always been known for simulation sports, and NHL will deliver that as well.
02:35It includes a great franchise mode, a full season mode, incredible audio.
02:40You know, but all these features have a bit of a fun flair to them, like in our franchise mode.
