They look really sweet.

Shi@ yeah we are!!! Anyways, did anyone see the vid someone made at 2khockey.net as far as annimations go. Someone took the vid and slowed it down. Showcased the annimations... It was really cool to see.. I just wish they would get new announcing. Hopefully we get someothing new today.

Here's the link. Check out those beautiful animations. VC did a wonderful job with this game. Can't wait to see on my T.V.

That's what I was referring to a few days ago when I posted that the incidental animations in 2K10 were second to none. Comparable to the difference between the quality and number of animations in APF 2K8 versus Madden. It's definitely one of the strengths of VC and its developers.

One thing though: the transition animations in 2K10 can be rough, and cause the player movement to look jumpy at times. Not near as bad as the MLB 2K series, but noticeable nevertheless. EA's game is more successful in that department IMO.

Yeah I agree. I do believe I saw some pinning in that video. Should please the one's who haven't seen any up until this point.

Yeah about 2 seconds worth that resulted in the pinned player throwing an a deliberate elbow to the face. Its there and I'm sure a better brand of sim sliders than what Cup (worse sim sliders ever there Cup) was using will make it more prevalent (I hope anyway) It is a bit disappointing to see that 2k's brand of board pinning is still a hold over from last gen though especially when you take into account all the attention paid to the other coincidental contact animations, most of which actually are fairly impressive as pointed out in that youtube clip.

Wow, that word "classic" DOES get thrown around a bit too liberally. I think of the Marx Bros., WC Fields and the 3 Stooges when I think of classic comedy.

Anyway, from what I've seen and read (and I've tried to stay away from the level of ad nauseaum), this has the potential to keep that "organic" feel despite any glitches and quirks there might be. Looking forward to the online play, especially with the sim guys.

I'm partial to Abbott and Costello myself.

I'll be playing on line myself. I guess someone will have to show me what sim play is. Just one more week to go.

Hopefully more folks will rent the game, because it's really the only way to know how much it has improved. You mentioned Blockbuster, but Hollywood video always has more copies of games to rent, at least in Northern Virginia.

Sadly in Western New York, your options are Family Video or Blockbuster.

But yeah, I might be too quick to judge the commentary. I've heard snippets, so when I do rent the game, I'll get a better feel for it. And yes, I do believe that even though there isn't a demo, people need to rent the game to get a better feel. For franchise, for the creative purposes, and for the Whalers uniforms.

The thing is, seeing how I barley know anyone in my area to play the NHL 2k series, I'll be able to get 2k10 anytime for rental.
