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.

Famous quotes containing the word version:
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
