Clocking in at 16 minutes and featuring 80+ clips set to 5 songs, this is not only a “makeup” for the 2K7 video that wasn’t, but also a tribute to the 2K series we’re all here for. There are elements that pay deliberate homage to earlier videos and entries in the series, as well as acknowledge what’s possible when you combine developers that listen with the great inputs and efforts of this small but vocal community.

Even with its flaws, this franchise has provided us countless hours of great hockey. So just as people say my 2K2 highlight video introduced them to the 2K series, with this video I’d like to re-introduce them to the series, show them why we love it and what they might have missed, and get people excited about 2K hockey again. After all, 2K9 is just around the corner, so it’s time to look forward to another great, competitive year for hockey gaming.
