The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A competent and familiar hockey simulation that puts you on the ice with realistic controls and the steady rhythm of a well-established sports franchise.

About
NHL 09 is the 17th video game in the NHL series released by EA Sports in 2008. Both the Nintendo DS and Wii versions had been planned, but canceled. It was the last installment of the NHL series to be released on Playstation 2 and the last to get a PC release
What players say
Widely regarded by hockey fans as a high point for the EA NHL series of its era, with fast, accessible, satisfying on-ice action that holds nostalgic appeal. It feels like comfortable, arcade-leaning sports fun rather than a hardcore sim.
