lol...man. The preview barely had any responses but this article darn near started a riot. I agree that it's pretty bad form to base gameplay judgment off of some secondhand videos. Other than that, it is an opinion piece. Not too worked up over it one way or the other, personally.

He's had many years of bashing people who don't agree with his opinion to get it down. Really Ven, its no loss, since 2kh.net is a laughing stock these days with not only accountability but rampant elitist like yourself to begin with. So can we expect you back once the reviews start rolling in to enlighten us how EA pays off reviewers? Cuz thats one of my favorites, always good for a chuckle. :wink:Comment

Thanks for the clear up, so he did actually base the article on videos.
Hope 2K release a demo.Comment

Re: NHL 2K10: What's Hot and What's Not
He's made a post like that the last couple of years if I recall correctly. Hell I think I read a post somewhere, may have been on the EA forums that he made a comment that the 10 demo in no way is anything near sim or realistic so really at this point I take anything he has to say with a grain of salt, a roll of the eyes and generally a good chuckle or two.Comment

Re: NHL 2K10: What's Hot and What's Not
Yeah, but the guy is actually considering buying the game this year for EASHL, so hell has frozen over a little. Hey, if he doesn't feel the game to be sim that is his thing. I don't think either game is all that sim honestly, they just have certain aspects of the game that are and when you play with some good sliders and the way the game should be played, you can get a decent sim style game out of them.Comment

I'm really beginning to wonder if anyone actually read my entire article. Where did you all even pick up on me slamming 2K, and being Pro EA- especially when EA's NHL franchise is hardly even mentioned in the article outside of controls and EASHL (two innovations that any fan of hockey gaming should give kudo's to EA for, no matter who your publishing allegiance is).
Did you all miss the part where I said that the 2K hockey series "one of my all-time favorite sports-gaming franchises of all time"? Did you read the part where I said in the section about one timers (insinuating that the online videos were played on lower difficutly levels), "I am hoping the final retail version of the game will play a slower, more strategic game, especially on higher difficulty levels."? Since the video's 2K has released are few and far between, what other hard evidence do we really have right now other than the O.S. hands on from a few weeks back? Finally, did you all read the final sentence in the article: "At the end of the day, it's nice to possibly have two solid hockey titles for gamers to enjoy during the 09-10 season".
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, and we love the passion on O.S., but was this article seriously that negative towards 2K that it deserved such an uproar- (not to mention the personal attacks on it's brilliant writer *tear*). We all love our hockey people, so let's all take a deep breath, relax, and take the article for what it is- a quick hit opinion piece to compliment our other in depth O.S. 2K10 coverage.Last edited by Bumble14; 08-26-2009, 08:02 AM.Christian McLeod--EA Sports NBA Live/Madden NFL Producer

To tell you the truth, what got my blood boiling personally was your comments on the controls and why 2K hasn't copied EA's. They did. Since NHL 2K9 to the great chagrin of many people who actually liked the 2K8 controls.
In any case, it may not have been your intention of being negative towards NHl 2K10, but that's how this article came off as. Oh well, guess ya can't win 'em all, can you chum? LOLLast edited by VeNOM2099; 08-26-2009, 10:20 AM.Where is the horse and the rider?

Re: NHL 2K10: What's Hot and What's Not
It's not even that the settings were on default on that IGN vid. One of the guys playing didn't know what he was doing and the other guys just kep setting up one-timers ad nauseum. They both sucked monkey nuts. I don't understand how you can base anything off their video?
It's like that guy on youtube that posted a video of pictures of the Wii version of NHL 2K10 while claiming they're from the 360/PS3 version. Imagine if someone would post an opinion piece on 2K10 and said that the grfx on the 360 or PS3 version sucked because he/she based his/her opinion on that youtube vid...Where is the horse and the rider?

One thing that definately should have been included in the HOT section is the 2KShare and I'm not talking about the Franchise Blogs. I'm talking the ability to upload sliders, rosters and drafts. This to me is a huge thing this game has over EA's currently.Comment

Re: NHL 2K10: What's Hot and What's Not
