I was really hoping, like everyone else, to get my hands on with this with a demo release. Second to that, some gameplay videos with "sim sliders" are probably the best thing we could get.

I'll be 100% honest. There are some little things I liked about 2K9, but overall I felt it was a pretty terrible game. This, to me, just looks a lot like 2K9 with better player models, textures, etc.

I can't sit here and ignore all that they've done to the graphical engine. 2K9 looked like a PS2 game, and 2K10 has made great strides in the graphical dept.

Looking forward to reviews on this, and I'll probably rent it eventually, but NHL10's already got my money (and my time) so I'll probably end up passing this year. Oh well.

I'm lost... Not in a good way or a bad way.... I don't know what to think yet.. There is alot of good and alot of bad IMO... I think we will be able to fix alot of it with sliders.. Animations are great... Before faceoffs players are battling already.. Someone said of the refs that they turn against the board to get out of the way... It gives the appearance that it is a hockey game... I can't put my finger on it though.. The puck freezes not even within a second for the computer goalie.. He makes a save and not even 1 second goes by and it's frozen.. I am not seeing boardplay... How people think these are amazing puck physics is beyond me.. The puck never bounces off the goalie for a rebound chance. When a player turns to pass the puck it just looks horrid... As for the atmosphere it looks great but I wanna hear the game on my tv in surround sound to tell.. Thats why a demo would be great... Mixed bag for me...Good and bad

why was there an empty net goal scored at 1750 of the third period?

wtf?

Pin ball Puck arcade action tape to tape passing no pinning or board play the whole game. There something about the way the players make little movments and the way they turn that just seems way to fast for me. I just don't like the flow of the game hard to explain.

Thats exactly what I think as well. Just doesn't flow on the quick movements.. Because the way the players look when they skate in open ice and kinda do a slow turn looks great.. Looks like they are skating on ice... But when they are bunched up and the puck handler and defender look like they can do a figure skating spin... then I have seen shots and passes with your back against the defender and the puck handler spins around at 189 MPH and gets a shot off that was like a defensmen slapshot...

Just got done watching the third period...I have some concerns about the CPU AI in the game, especially since this was played on sim settings. The CPU frequently will enter the zone and skate right at the defenseman rather than skate to the outside or better yet dump the puck deep into the zone. While the CPU did score some goals, they only had 20 shots which isn't a heckuva lot. The CPU AI seems to pass at really weird times...there were many instances where they made a pass back to the blueline when there was a clear lane to the net.

Players at times looks like they are on a swivel with the quick 360 degree rotation...looks odd especially since the puck is somehow magnetically attached to the stick.

As already mentioned, passing is way too accurate. The CPU completed 92% of their passes. I guess I expected more sim-style gameplay out of WWTC as he has always been a hardcore hockey guy.

Oh well...hopefully sliders can help some of this. Graphically it looks great, and the checking animations are phenomenal. I am really digging the overlays in the game too.

2 things I liked:

The way the cpu Flyers PP set up and moved the puck around.

The puck wasn't interferred with by the refs.

P.S. WWTC doesn't know the first thing about setting up sim sliders!

There are some good and bad from that video.. I just need to see it in action (damn you 2k and no demo).

The nonexistent board play has me concerned.. was that taken out?
