I think those that only want EA's game could care less when anything happens for 2k10. Those who really enjoy 2k10 and are happy to try something new (even if it is not a massive overhaul) will be pleased for the effort given.
I just don't think timing is really a factor now. I mean, 2k11 has dropped in Nth America on Wii and there is virtual silence in the impressions threads both here and on 2k hockey net. Perhaps though, its only competition (a demo sized chunk of EA's latest offerring) has been enough to distract people from opting to give 2k11 a go. If so, then maybe you could be right O-Grace!
Just an aside - I am looking forward to NHL 11 for sure, but I am also loving 2k10 and though I really liked EA's demo and where that type of hockey video game is heading I find things about 2k hockey that represent the sport really well that cannot be found in EA's interation.
Anything at any time that can keep some enthusiasm and deliver some fresh air into 2k hockey is welcomed by me. Its not just about the whole competition thing, for me, its about finding new and creative ways to eek more out of an already good hockey game.
That the series may have come to an end only makes me think all the more that I am happy to get anything for a discontinued line as we head into an uncertain future for hockey gaming which may be dominated by only one option from here on.
