'''''NHL 09''''' is the 17th [[video game]] in the [[NHL (video game series)|NHL series]] released by [[EA Sports]] in 2008. This was the final NHL game to be released on the [[PlayStation 2]] and [[Microsoft Windows]].


==New Features==
==Gameplay==
===Be A Pro===
===Online play===
Players have the ability to create a player to use in online play featuring 6 versus 6 online teamplay mode. Users can join online teams with friends or find players to create one. Users have the ability to level up players, participate in tournaments (with brackets), and receive awards at the end of the season. Rosters have been updated, as well as slap shot power and accuracy to complement NHL updates.
Similar to "superstar mode" in the [[Madden NFL|NFL series]], be a pro allows the gamer to start off as a player in the [[American Hockey League|AHL]]. This is the only player on the ice that you control. The in-game "performance tracker" will rate the player's play in over 50 categories.


==Reception==
===Create-A-Play Breakouts===
This feature allows the player to completely control how the team goes from their own zone into their opponent's.


===Defensive Skill Stick===
===Critical response===
NHL 09 expands on the "skill stick" of [[NHL 08]] by adding the power to stop offensive attacks. It allows you to block passes and to raise an opposing player's stick just before he is about to receive a pass.


The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions received "generally favorable reviews", while the PC version received "mixed" reviews, according to the [[Review aggregator|review aggregation]] website [[Metacritic]].<ref name="MCPC" /><ref name="MCPS3" /><ref name="MCX360" />
===New Checking/Fighting===
More than 300 animations of fighting and checking will be added along with a new physics-based checking and fighting engine.


During the [[12th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards]], the [[Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences]] awarded ''NHL 09'' with "[[D.I.C.E. Award for Sports Game of the Year|Sports Game of the Year]]"; it also received a nomination for "[[D.I.C.E.
