In the 2nd video, I just heard Phoenix playing in the background during a break in action...probably won't buy the game, but I dig their taste in music!

This is sooo weird for me... The graphics look good for the most part, The AI is o.k, Skating looks smooth however, There are a couple of things that got on my nerves... The stick handling seems way to easy.. I guess how I mean is a player will do a complete 180 or more and shoot the puck or do a 180 to get away from a defender or spin on a dime..... Also the speed of the game is just to quick...I hope that is adjustable. The flow just isn't there for me...Puck friction needs to be turned up.. The Puck slides way to fast across the ice... Passes all look the same.. The puck stays the same speed unless its a dump pass or a drop pass.. I will have to see more... All in all the game looks ok...

Ugh, still no boardplay.....?

Goal by the cpu scored because WWTC's defender just collapsed back to the net instead of playing his man. As a result a man was left wide open in the slot for a onetimer.

Bing-bing-bing.......Riccochet Rabbit! (pinball passing again)

No penalties...........?

Good grief, I can't take much more of the constant laser beam backhand passes anymore.

Not a very impressive vid, sorry. This just isn't oozing "sim" to me. C'mon, Anthony. You can do better.

Definitely some issues in there; but also some great gameplay. Looks far more like hockey to me than NHL 2010; which is what matters to me. Graphics are great, but I'm a gameplay guy, and 2k has always had a more realistic game when it comes down to it.

I just hope some of the issues I saw in the video can be fixed with sliders; and on top of that, I don't know if I'll get the chance to find out if they don't release a demo to let us try the game out first.

That second period was much much better than the 1st. Nice.

Still NHL 10 is the game for me, but I will definitely pick this up at some point, full price or not.

I'd really like to see the Caps score so I can get a load of the arena atmosphere on a home goal...hopefully in the 3rd period WWTC gets his head outta his ***.

Anyone finding the goalscorer stat overlays popping up during the replays annoying? I saw this in the IGN Team-Up vids as well. Shouldn't they pop up during the close up of the goalscorer celebrating (like last year's game)?

Obviously a pet peeve but kind of sloppy-looking.

Agreed that it looked better than the first period. Still tons of questions about the laser passing and defensive AI though. Hopefully the sliders work this year. I do question why Cup consistantly took himself out of the play alot on defense though or passed on scoring chances trying to make an impossible cycle work, not sure what that was all about.

I think the game has potential this year, if the defensive sliders can make the AI actually put pressure in the neutral zone and aliviate the auto collapse to the net and the passing can be made less tape to tape and slower it could be a very solid game this year. Keeping my fingers crossed.
