It's the fence sitters that need to be attracted to this gem of a hockey game.

I was sitting on the fence. With this video 2k Sports took out their BB gun and knocked me right off the fence, in a good way. Looking forward to hopefully hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup with the Blackhawks in 2k10.

Matter of opinion bro. Yeah, NHL10 is going to be a great game, but there is nothing wrong with those of us that feel the same way about 2K10. Many of us will probably end up with both on. It's obvious by your user name where you stand, so keep to the EA forums if you can't be objective and or constructive.

This game looks pretty good. I love the arenas and the intro. Stumble shots sounds good as well. NHL10 is a must buy for me, but I'll also be keeping a keen eye on this game.

You are right Eddie!!! I am a fence sitter....Finally some info after I was in the other thread pissed off because I thought gamespot would have something today... Well they did turns out around 8pm EST...

I can't believe how nice those arenas look... I want to see some raw game footage though. But this is definately a good start. I just hope we get more info next week. I am curious about the announcers and how they will perform

Did anyone else notice something small (but awesome) in the franchise portion of the video?
When the user is scrolling through a number of available players, look at the top where the position is listed. In a few of them you see "RW/LW", "RW/LW", etc.

So does this mean that 2K10 will be the first hockey game to actually have multiple positions for certain players? Awesome!

Didn't notice that but I went back and looked, that is awesome.

That was just a very good video in all. This is the first time we've really had an overwhelmingly positive thread for this game... ever!

I really think this game could be something great this year. Despite all the marketing BS ("multiplayer party mode" type stuff), I think this game is going to be very solid at its core. Definitely pumped for the game after this video.

I really like that line change window showing the guy hitting the ice. I think that's a great little presentation thing. But I do have to agree, it's going to get in the way. Heck, the little line change menu has gotten in my way before, now it's going to be a huge box. It'd be great if it was a "smart box" and popped up as far away from where the puck is as possible. But it's great to know it will be optional. Thank you to Shadow for that nugget.

Great video...AI looks improved from what was show in the video. While the pop-up screen is a nice touch, hopefully it can be toggled on on/off as it would be distracting for me.

2k10 looks to be coming along nicely...I hope more videos like this are coming!
