NHL 2K10 Teaser Trailer (Gamespot)

Re: NHL 2K10 Teaser Trailer

I think you just need to come to terms with the fact that you are extremely biased towards EA's hockey. I understand you were a 2K fan, and you played it up until 07, all that jazz. But your posts are continually negative towards 2K hockey, so I'm not surprised at all that you didn't like the trailer.

If EA had released a similar trailer that was just basically a promotional teaser and people were picking it apart and criticizing and making assumptions about the game based off of it, you would be one of the first people to shut them down and say "its just a trailer".

Its simply a cool little trailer letting everyone see the graphics and a cool little montage of a recreation of that zaney Ovechkin goal. If you want to look at it with a predetermined negativity that's fine.

I quoted only one of your posts, but every post you've made has been negative. You were freaking out for info and video, and once you get it you just look at it in a negative light and trash it. I understand you are pissed because 2K9 was a piece of junk, none of us are happy about that. But you don't have to go and ruin people's excitement for the game. If Scott is excited, let him be excited.

Don't mean to single you out, its just a little frustrating.

Not really, EA's just been that much more impressive the past couple years and I'm not gonna get all hot over a stitched together minute trailer showing off a goal that should rarely be seen in game if at all is all. My posts are negative for a reason and trust me I find plenty wrong with elements of EA's game as well, not all of us wear blinders.

Yeah let Scott be excited! He has not much in life, so let him have this. Sure he has 2 cute sons, a hot wife and kick *** car. A great job that has him working only 180 days a year. And he is real hot with his blue eyes and brown hair and movie star looks and is 6 feet and 190 of almost solid muscle. But I am still excited for this game. I don't know why I like it better than EA's, but I do. I think it is the Arena's after you score a goal.

So you admit you are biased towards EA hockey. Which is fine, everyone has a right to like whatever they want, but you don't have to dump on people's excitement for 2K10.

For many longtime hockey videogame fans, 2K has had the superior game from 2K-2K8 (obviously excluding 2001). 2K8 is where most people differ, but I think I've already posted on here about how I believe 2K8 was the best simulation hockey game ever made.

In my mind, and I think a lot of people would maybe agree with me, 2009 was the first year EA has clearly had the superior game. All of the sudden its like the sky is falling and 2K hockey is irrelevant. I don't really understand how that happened.

For the record, not to announce it but to prevent the argument, I owned NHL 07, 08 and now have 09, and I played NHL 09 way, way more than 2K9. This is just the way I see things.

If by saying I think there's good reason to be negative that equals some bias? er Alright then. I agree with you 100% with the exception of 2k7-2k9, 2k7 being the dawn of cinemotion and fog breath, 2k8's asstastic control scheme and we already covered the gamut of 2k9's issues. Prevaliant through all of this though is the use of a last gen core and to an extent last gen visuals and code. 2k6 360's shrug goal issue, franchise freeze bad AI, 2k7's focus on cinemotion, franchise freeze, bad AI, 2k8's controls, freezes.. Do I need to go on? See a consistant theme here?

I was willing to deal with the reoccuring issues last gen because the gameplay itself was better than EA's. Thats just not the case anymore and I'm sorry if I expect more from 2k considering how long we've been waiting for a next gen hockey game from them. They got the visuals down this year finally, I hope the gameplay and controls are there to match the visuals.

I'm not impressed with that trailer. Doesn't 2K realize they are competing with EA's hockey game?

Trailer = meh

Why release your first trailer using the PS2 platform?

Where? What? That was PS2???

No, I don't think so. It looks better in HD one.

Re: NHL 2K10 Teaser Trailer (Gamespot)

Its in the PS2 section on gamespot. Could explain why Ovie doesn't look at all like the render that Ronnie claims to be "in game"

Yeah, but there is no way that is the PS2. I haven't seen graphic look that good on the Ps2. If it is then that is a first.

Re: NHL 2K10 Teaser Trailer (Gamespot)

Graphics look terrible for next-gen, but whatever. I just really hope that the goal is NOT something we can easily re-create whenever we want. That was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of play, and not one that we'll see in a game again (most likely).

Re: NHL 2K10 Teaser Trailer (Gamespot)

No, for once they actually look next gen. Yeah the player faces will be hit or miss, but that's tolerable since I don't have to look at their ugly mugs while skating down ice.

They are?

If they are the're not trying very hard.

Re: NHL 2K10 Teaser Trailer

Ovechkin looks like Kurt Suzuki in that vid.

Yeah, I spent a few seconds trying to figure out which NHL team had a Japanese player on their roster, before I figured out who it was. Why would they put out a trailer featuring closeups of their cover athlete that don't look anything like him? 2K is one strange company.

Overall, an incredibly lame trailer given the time to start showing 2K10 in-game footage was WEEKS AGO. And no, I don't buy that anything has actually changed with the game when all they show us is some uber-edited, pre-rendered fantasy video.
