PC Version
Just like the previous two entries in the series, the PC version is no longer developed to be equivalent to the Xbox 360 and versions and is a port of the PlayStation 2 version. This resulted in graphics below NHL 08's fidelity and a notable lack of support for controllers and widescreen resolutions. NHL 09 was the last EA Sports-based hockey game released for the PC as well as the PlayStation 2.
Similar to NHL 2004, NHL 09 has many large modding communities due to the lack of a new EA NHL product for PC. Some of these updates are jerseys, roster updates, facepacks (player portraits), player equipment, and cyberfaces (in-game player faces). Besides these, other mods contain new interfaces, layouts, and mods with rosters from previous seasons. Sites such as The Breakaway.net has a large modding community for NHL 09.
