Sounds really good, really really like the new player models and faces, just wish they fixed the goalie pants
BTW, the Ovie player model, face, looked better in that Allstar pic.

Overall the gameplay adjustments sounded really good.

That's exactly what went through my mind when I saw those gorgeous arenas. The thought of having to listen to that commentary nullifies the whole presentation high for me. I suppose they can be shut off yet again. Plus doing the same for Madden 10 improved that game's presentation by 500% for me.

Still not enough padding IMO in the same way the APF 2K8 players models are too thin -- it's a VC thing I guess. But the graphics are terrific. And like the videos, the players look as if they have weight and substance and aren't merely floating above the ice.

No it's not ok and would really be a waste of making each unique intro. Why have all this presentation and then only see it in the playoffs?

One thing 2k has always had over EA's is the proportion of the players size to the rink size.. it looks perfect.

Otherwise though I have to give them credit for not only the arena's looking stunning but making an effort to get the lighting of various arenas down. Thats a really nice touch, hope the game plays as decent as it looks.
Wouldn't be an issue for me. I haven't listened to the commentary since 2k6. I go for that "at the game" experience, rather than "watching it on tv" one. To each their own though.

As great as the review sounds and the pics look, I won't be convinced of anything until I play a demo.

I agree. Supposedly it will be out Sept. 1st. I will get the NHL Demo today and play that till the 2k one comes out and then decide. I did the same thing last year.
