Apparently today is the day for hockey! EA Sports has released the NHL 09 demo on the PlayStation Network, with the Xbox LIVE demo to follow in early September.
The demo will allow players to re-live the excitement of last season’s Stanley Cup Final between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Detroit Red Wings by stepping into the skates of a top NHL star in the new Be A Pro mode.
The new Be A Pro career mode will put you in the skates of an up and coming superstar. Start in the AHL and work your way up to the NHL, with the ultimate goal of becoming an NHL legend. The new Performance Tracker will rate your play in over 60 categories so you will know exactly what parts of your game you need to improve.
NHL 09 ships to store shelves on September 9th for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.
