Okay...they need to show some gameplay...and there is some major interference in that video.

Re: Teaser Trailer #2 For 2K10

Skating with the puck still looks odd.
It's not going to prevent me from playing this game, but the players still look like they have a broom handle up their butts.

I really liked the side-step and the protect-puck animations. I just pray they're moves that won't require the dial-a-deke control scheme. I would hope I can do both with the analog stick.

Also, I though there was supposed to be some real info about the game today too. Not just a teaser trailer. I hope that's true.

Looks pretty good. The skating is still too stiff and isn't quite right I agree, but it's 200% better than the last couple of years.

I like what I saw. Also, very pleased with the skating animations. Have you ever played hockey? Those movements seen in the trailer look really real. One thing that bugs me is the goalie models, with their square shoulders, but what can you do. I'll rent both, and see from there.

That's 2K's trademark, going back to NFL 2K5. Maybe the guy who does the mocap for them actually does have a broom handle... well, you know.

Yeah, I thought that was fixed, or so it appeared according to that first A.O. screen they released.

Right, that's how I look when I skate. I want the animations to look like NHL players skating.

lol, no. But with the arm swinging from side to side , that is something very natural to hockey players. I see it in this video. Whatever though, no big deal, i won't buy this game solely for the skating animations.

There's not enough movement and swing in the upper body for one thing. You can see it when they pass the puck -- their shoulders/arms barely move.

The problem from years past that they mostly fixed is the stick and how it's being held. The last couple of years, players held their sticks too high up on the shaft and too close to their torso. That's what gives them their "skating with stick in butt" look. That animation can still be seen, but they seem to have added upper body movement animations so it's not as continuious and noticable.

The skating with one hand on the stick looks really good. It's the stickhandling with two hands while slowly moving up the ice that looks odd.
But again, it won't prevent me from playing this game.
