The commentary is still lifeless and bland, and the in-game sound effects (hitting the post, boards, etc) need an overhaul. My biggest concern has to do with the CPU AI...the unnecessary backwards passing, skating straight ahead into the defense when there is a clear lane to the outside, etc. The CPU AI still seems to be too pass happy as evidenced by only 5 shots on goal. I expected better AI, expecially on "sim" settings.

Your probably one of the few people who has sense on the NHL forums. Why can't people look at the game as an improvement to NHL 2k9. I personally looked at NHL 10 as an improvement to 09 and like it(not a day one buy though).

I mean, WWTC wasn't checked for having the puck in the wrong zone. The computer actually dumped sometimes(hopefully sliders will make more dump ins), the game just looked better. I mean c'mon if you say this is NHL 2k9 V2, NHL 10 is NHL 08 V2, because NHL 09 wasn't hockey, it was NBA Live on Skates(no bashing, kinda was true).

Anyways, when I buy/rent this and if it isn't worth it, I will officially give up on Hockey games because EA gives us Sim but cheeser friendly games and 2k, dunno what they give us anymore(no demo= rent before final judgement). its like I just wanna stick to Hockey on the T.V now, hopefully a full version of each game can change my mind.

Nothing in that video made me say WOW I gotta have this game I may end up with zero hockey games this year... Oh well.

I think those of you who still enjoy Hockey gaming after NHL 08/2k8 must be dreaming. Hockey games are nothing comapred to the days where there were 5 different companies making Hockey games. Now that were down to 2, its almost like Madden. I don't need to explain Madden.

Anyways. The video cannot determine a buy, a rent or a no buy. We need to get the game hands-on/ community or OS review to see how the game is. I don't know alot about this game yet, because 2k didn't market it enough. I am still going on my word. WAITING, until NHL 10 and 2k10 come out and I will read unbiased reviews and play the game before I determine if I wil buy a Hockey game this season.

That's a very safe and intelligent approach.
I wish I had that kind of sense. I just basically buy every game first day and repeat each year despite the empty promises I make to myself.

I'm seriously impressed with that video. Graphically it's off the charts; easily the most realistic-looking hockey game ever, both while in motion and during stoppages. Guess we'll soon find out how it actually plays.

I'm the opposite of you baa.. game play AI does look better, but I still see robotic movements and game play looks very similar to 2k9.

Where is the board play?

am i the only one who thought that the arena was jumping and the commentary was on point. man this is shaping up to be good

[wheels2121]

the arenas are stunning. The commentary? No, it sounded plain and choppy like something from the early 2000s.
