Two key announcements have been made for fans of 2K Sports' (http://2ksports.com/) NHL franchise. First, and more importantly of course, Rick Nash has been tapped as the cover athlete of NHL 2K9. This coming from a memorable season for the Columbus Blue Jackets where they, you know didn't make the playoffs. But that's besides the point!
The second, and way less important, is developer Visual Concepts is "taking over" the development reigns of the game instead of working with Kush Games and promises to rebuild the game from the ground up. Surprising changes would be made due to the fact that 2K8 was one of the second best hockey game available according to Metacritic (http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/nhl2k8).
Some things you may want to consider about this post. One, Rick Nash (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?statsId=3153)? Really? Two, building the title from the ground up? Thank goodness. Three, there were only two hockey games last year.
Oh, sorry to any Nash or Blue Jackets fans. I'm a Leafs fan, so what do I know?
