Since E3, 2K Sports has been touting the same few words regarding NHL 2K9: above all else they will bring the fun back to hockey video games. This might seem like a strange announcement or PR line when NHL 2K has delivered an entertaining experience for several years running, and it's doubtful that this is the first time you've heard a journalist ponder the necessity of 2K Sports' claim. But for these developers, "entertaining" just wasn't enough.
"This is kind of a different year for us," said Ben Bishop, Producer of NHL 2K9. "The game was developed by a new team this year. We actually brought it to our 2K Sports headquarters here in Northern California. In doing that it really gave us the opportunity to step back and get a different perspective on things and really try to see how the series had evolved and what we could do to change things. They take a different approach to a lot of what we were doing. Getting a fresh perspective from a different development team really made a big difference."

The difference between a good sports game and a great one is how well it feeds the beast. Is this an appetizer or a full-course meal?
