    Wow!

    Even though I knew about most of these features it was still good to get a closer look at them.

    September 15th will be the day...

      that goalie save looked sick (the first one)

      really pumped for this game.

        lol maybe in california you dont need to preorder....... in buffalo, it doesnt work that way with hockey games. i can imagine its even worse in canada
        will not change this until a buffalo team wins a championship.

          I'm from the Philly area. You didn't need to preorder 07. You didn't need to preorder 08; however, last year, when I went to my EB, they were sold out of 09. I went to my local Target, they were sold out of 09. I would highly recommend preordering 10 at this point, no matter where you are.

          It speaks volumes to the success of the series.

            Well here in Cali I have never had to preorder a game. EVER! I just go there and pick it up. Madden, NHL, MLB the Show. I guess I have been spoiled. Now I rarely get it early, so that sucks. But on the date it is suppose to come out and can get it anywhere.

              Amazing, looks fantastic!

              NHL 09 was the greatest sports game EVER, so I have high hopes for NHL 10!

                so this is as good of a time as any.

                My wife gave me permission to preorder my NHL 10...so where is the best place on the net to do this and how early does that mean that I'll get the game usually?

                BTW...this game is going to own.
                Safest bet? Gamestop/EB Games or Bestbuy. Both tend to always have releases day 1. Walmart, at least in my area tends to be hit or miss.

                  Liked alot in that video, goalie animations, the crowds, the board play is looking pretty good, I do hope in the future we can get multipul board scrums but whats there now is a good start. The fighting looks like it could be pretty decent as well, and really anything is a step up over how fighting has been the last couple years. For me I'm still iffy on puck physics, as it was hard to tell if the're all that different, it was nice seeing not only a bank pass off the boards but that nice little drop pass as well.

                  What really excited me though was the little things and attention to detail, players knocking the puck down to play it imo is huge, defensemen using the bat puck feature to clear the crease also huge and the post whistle scrums actually playing into the game if implmented well should be huge as well. This very well may be the year that the game actually feels like hockey and less of an end to end game with all these elements put together.

                  Hopefully the AI is improved to the point of being able to pressure in the neutral zone and at their own defensive blue line. If thats the case I'll be in heaven. Even so, I'm looking forward to 10 prolly more so than any game before.

                    Every year I say: When the EA show something really new? When you feel really gamepad of hockey? This year it looks like the real 200 major things that the game is moved to the actual simulation. So far it feel great now ! :wink:

                      The video looks nice, don't get me wrong. I'm curious as to how '09 won twelve sports video game of the year awards? It must have been a down year. There were a LOT of gameplay flaws and glitches, and I can only hope none of them reappear in NHL '10.

                      I'm also worried that some of the new animations will end up being overdone, such as the stick-play from the knees and smacking the puck out of the air. Hopefully the AI has also been fixed, namely on the human-controlled side.

                      The boardplay looks good, but I'm also nervous about the fighting. First person fighting looks badass, but I really wonder how it will feel. Last year's fighting was awful, there needs to be more of a scrappy feeling and less about throwing haymakers.

                      I'm excited about the crowds--finally at least one EA team is doing them right. I also look forward to hearing about improvements to Franchise and BAP. Does anyone know if anything has been done to either of those modes? They certainly could use some help.

                        The fighting looks like rubbish. The collision detection for punches doesn't look good.

                        Everything else looks great though, especially the goalie animations.

                          It looks a bit rough but I think it's a step up from last years two punch knock out.

                            I'm not a huge NHL fan, but I'm excited for this game!

                            It's amazing how far they've come along in the past 2-3 years, kudos!

                                that was impressive.
                                i just wish you had the option to not fight in first person, and more than one fight could happen at the same time.
                                Other than that, I just hope its easier to create a team and edit your own players in there.
                                And hopefully the simulated stats are more accurate.
