NHL 2K10 Gameplay Videos (IGN)

What I really like about this game is the puck. It just looks so real the way it moves. I love the puck physics in the game. Also, Wings fan do you guys have that intro in real life?

Faceoffs after puck was dropped had a couple second delay before someone touched the puck.... Announcing was fine to me. I love the arena sounds and that Wings Intro was just amazing...

During the faceoff they got tied up with eachother.

I thought the announcing was fine, I mean it can't be easy make it sound completely authentic given it's scripted and pieced together. Goalies are still a little off IMO, but It's looking good!

And as many said before, the intros are amazing!

WOW OH WOW! That Redwing intro is truly amazing. I can't get over how the arena is so lively and colorful and the outstanding attention to detail. I truly hope this is a regular season and playoff thing and that every arena is different. I am salivating.

The graphics are superb. Did you see the players faces. What a major upgrade.

Everything about those videos says upgrade. It doesn't look or sound like 2k9 to me.

I have always liked the announcers and they seem to be improved this year too.

Scott was that a 5 man hug?

It most likely was on a easy mode with no slider adjustments, so I wouldn't worry to much about the gameplay looking off.

Nope, no 5 man hug there. I think they need to really touch that part up next year. But I LOVED EVERYTHING ELSE. The presentation was great and the puck was moving all over the place.

I am sure they were playing a beta build of the game and on easy. I doubt many of them guys playing were hardcore hockey guys. I am a hockey noob and when i first play i play on easy until i get the hang of wht i am doing.

Looking real good! In the Lighting vs Sharks vids I am sure it is two humans playing against eachother. The guy in control of the Sharks is either really, really bad is deliberately getting out of position to allow for some gameplay goals for highlights.

Watch how the Sharks have a blue circle highlighting the player being controlled, it switches just like it was a human controlling it...but it looks like someone who has never played video game hockey is in charge of the controls.

Good to see 2k responding with gameplay and the kind of stuff the fans want to see.
