NHL 2K Returns - on Mobile Devices

[cdj]

NHL 2K — undated — will skate back to iOS and Android devices this fall, hoping that the emergence of tablets and controller support since its last appearance in 2010 will make it a fuller partner in the simulation sports video game market. The game will sell for $7.99 for both iOS and Android devices. A specific release date was not given in announcement of the series' return.

NHL 2K on Android and iOS will introduce a new multi-season MyCareer mode, in which the user controls a single player with the goal of developing him into a superstar. In addition to the season-long campaign and standard play-now mode, NHL 2K also features an NHL Winter Classic mode, set in outdoor stadiums; a penalty-shots Shootout mode that supports online play, and a new 3-on-3 "Mini Rink" arcade mode. 2K Sports also promises live roster support for NHL 2K, reflecting changes in the real-world league.

Snyder demurred when asked if the reintroduction of NHL 2K on mobile platforms signaled any intent for 2K Sports to return the series to consoles.

"We don't have any plans to do that in the near future," Snyder said.

Ryan Kesler returns as the cover star for NHL 2K; he was the cover boy for NHL 2K11 years ago, though he wore the uniform of the Vancouver Canucks then. Kesler is now an Anaheim Duck.

I remember one year when their big additions were playoff beards and a Zamboni mini game.
