NHL 08 and NHL 09 are two examples of video games by EAS sports. Both can be played on Windows, Xbox, 360, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation 3. One of the significant differences is that NHL was produced by EA sports in 2007, while NHL 09 came out in 2008.
The NHL series came to fruition in 1991 as a sequence of professional ice hockey video games, with NHL hockey as the first in the series. The NHL 08 game is the skill stick system, which helps you have more control over the puck and the player around the defender, and then reclaim the puck to lure or entice the player into a trap.
The current version, NHL 09, does not include the fantasy draft on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. It only works with Playstation 2 and PC versions. However, it does utilize the defense skill stick, the lift stick option, which is played in user mode, and the dump chase.
