That is one of the best player faces of Devin Set. I have ever seen. I am so pumped for this game. Can't wait.

Those Arenas are intense. I can't wait for road trips.

Nope have you played the demo NHL10? I still love the way this game is looking. I want to see this in action.

Interesting and telling, the almost complete absence of goalie screenshots. It was evident in the videos that the goalie player models/masks are still all wrong. The player model for skaters isn't correct either. Players aren't bulky enough and their shoulders don't appear properly padded. And sorry, but I don't get the dusty, muted color palette they use for player unis. Makes the game look like one is watching it through fog.

Last year for the first time ever (2k9) I didn't even touch the game, it was all about EA. I MIGHT rent this just to compare. The only thing 2K has consistently beaten EA is in the franchise mode area.

I'm amazed at how they can butcher their cover athlete so bad but make the other players look solid.

lmao, it's amazing how truly awful Ovechkin looked in that teaser trailer. Might have been the worst trailer I've ever seen in my life, for any video game.

Now that's what arena's should look like. It's going to a joy playing on the road this year. So many things to see and hear. I hear EA NHL 10 still has generic arena's. If that's true they should be ashamed. What is this year 19? of the EA series and still no true arena's or atmosphere. Another reason why that game is only a rental for me year after year. NHL 2K10 is going to be a fun and exciting game. It's pretty obvious how much VC has upgraded their product this year.

"Ashamed" isn't the word I'd use. "Rolling in the dough from all the development money they saved by not upgrading the game's presentation in the slightest in four years" is how I'd put it. Okay, make that "words" I'd use.

LOL, I guess what's shameful are the fans who support them without demanding changes to an important part of the game. Remember "if it's in the game, it's in the game". I guess they are smart for not doing it if it saves them money, but without that they will never get fans like me who like the presentation side and little things of sports to like their game.

They've been making strides to improve the gameplay each year, and that's enough for most people. And while I understand that thinking, I don't agree with it. I tend to agree with you here. So far I don't see enough improvement and change in their game to justify purchasing it again this year.

That said, 2K needs to make a Grand Canyon-type leap in improvement compared to EA's series. 2K's arenas look terrific, which IMO was a waste of development resouces. Their arenas were already better than EA's by quite a bit. I see an improvement in animations, player faces and skaters' player models, although they're still inferior to EA's game. But I see little improvement in the goalie player models with their clunky, over-sized goal masks. At least EA's generic arenas are fine to look at. The goalies in 2K hockey on the other hand are an immediate and constant visual eyesore that absolutely should have be fixed.

For you it may be more important to fix gameplay Baa, but for me presentation is just as important. So I am happy that 2k10 is making a game for me!
