NHL 2K10 Q&A: Part One

[Steve_OS]

The Operation Sports community recently had a chance to ask Ben Bishop, Producer at Visual Concepts, some questions about NHL 2K10. This is part one of two.

"OS: What has been done to make the skating engine more realistic?

Ben Bishop: The biggest change to the skating engine was the addition of the new backwards skating model. The animations in general look much smoother now, and you will see more crossovers and better looking turns. You will also have the ability to position yourself more accurately, which is key for things like setting up at the point on the power play and angling players off towards the boards on defense."

No high sticking for stick lifts
Same penalties as last year

[dorismary]

Nothing really groundbreaking plus lack of real penalties plus no demo no game for me .

The online franchise sounds pretty fun. I'll consider it.

Disappointing to see that the PS3 gets the shaft yet again on custom soundtracks.

damn i shouldn't have read this....things dont look to good. Imma still get it but man very disappointing.

[Gosens6]

Franchise still seems a big lagging... Looks like ill have to go the NHL 10 route this year which is a big dissapointing. I had faith in 2K this year

[asu666]

I'd still love to know if I have to reset the camera before each game this year or if the prefered camera view is saved in the main menu. I loved the side cam last year, but it's a pain to have to pause and switch it before each game.

Gosens,they have a Franchise Insight next Monday, you may want to wait before you say it's lagging.

Duh-oh, no pinning frequency slider! The big thing for me is, as I stated in another thread, can the game sliders be adjusted to have the game flow and play realistic, yet have a cpu that is threatening and can score? My general experience has been once you slow the game down to a realistic speed, the cpu becomes harmless.

A big slider to check will be the defensive aggressiveness, since WWTC's gameplay vids are exhibiting a rather passive retreat and collapse cpu defense.
