Yep, I agree. I think that 2k10 will have them beat in the presentation part. But player models will probably be EA's. I think both are going to step it up the gameplay factor. So should be fun to see these two go head to head! Animation I don't know!

Re: NHL 2K10 Feature Blowout (IGN)
I know that every developer say this, but I love it still the same!
2K: You know, it's interesting, I think there's definitely that sort of aspect but at the same time we also felt like we were kind of going back to the roots to try to bring back some of the realistic, sim-style hockey. We wanted to make the game something that's definitely accessible to people -- something you can sit down and play with your buddies, but at the same time I think it also plays a really good game of hockey this year. We've done a ton of work just trying to make the game look better, play better, feel better. We've done a ton of animations to improve the skating engine, to improve the goalies, to improve stick-handling and to improve the controls in general.Comment

Re: NHL 2K10 Feature Blowout (IGN)
That depends if the commentary is better, if its once again the same 6 year old script with a weak delivery it kinda hurts the presentation just a bit, I also hope the'res actual replays of shots/goals/saves during stoppages this year. I actually really liked the replays in 2k8, hope they bring something like that back. The player models are alot closer to EA's this year, I still think EA's goalies look better and EA's faces look a tad more detailed, but they've finally narrowed the gap a bit which is very welcomed.Comment

Re: NHL 2K10 Feature Blowout (IGN)

i turn that off in all sports games, get custom soundtracks and just play that way.

Re: NHL 2K10 Feature Blowout (IGN)
No way EA's faces blow these away. They are closer, but EA's have more polygons. But the commentary is not that big to me. I turn that off. I am talking about Arena Presentation. Go score a goal in any Arena in 2k9, they are all different. It is so amazing!! That is what I love about the game. Also, in that wii pic of the Blue Jackets. I saw a 4 guy hug after the goal! Maybe 5 man hugs are in this year.That depends if the commentary is better, if its once again the same 6 year old script with a weak delivery it kinda hurts the presentation just a bit, I also hope the'res actual replays of shots/goals/saves during stoppages this year.

One thing that got me stoked was they added more animation. I hope they blow that up this year. I really love what I am seeing and hearing. If the Sharks come out of the Shark head, oh boy! And if we get the 5 guy hugs I will be very happy. I know that is real silly things, but it goes a long way for me.

Re: NHL 2K10 Feature Blowout (IGN)
Yeah thats kinda a bitch to do without a media pc setup. I'd love to use that custom music pack for 09, but I'm way to lazy to burn all those tracks to a disk and manually edit everything in playlists. I've always been a big pbp guy, from way back when EA first added it to the PC version all those years ago.Comment

Re: NHL 2K10 Feature Blowout (IGN)
And you would be wrong, but keep thinking that.
They said that the wii will have everything that PS3 and 360, but they still put a lot of attention to the PS3 and 360. Not the other way around.

Re: NHL 2K10 Feature Blowout (IGN)
We'll see. It's not like this preview or whatever set in stone my thoughts on the game, but I would not be surprised at all to see 2k decide to push the Wii version, especially considering EA hasn't touched it with the NHL series. EA has dominated next-gen and 2k has resorted to taking year-old features from EA and pumping them up as their own. Not a terrible idea considering EA has been a success, but it just seems like it's a year behind.Comment

Trust me they are putting a lot of man power on on 2k10 for the 360 and PS3.

Re: NHL 2K10 Feature Blowout (IGN)
Well it's good to see some all around optimism on the 2K forums again. I know we still have to see some gameplay video from 2K,but this is easily gonna be the best year for hockey gamers I feel. I'm excited, I know that. Just hope I can afford both at the same time, because I don't wanna wait for either one.Comment

Re: NHL 2K10 Feature Blowout (IGN)
Yeah I think I am going to have to buy 4 games this year. Or see which version I like better for both. The 360 or PS3. Decisions, decisions and decisions.Well it's good to see some all around optimism on the 2K forums again.

Re: NHL 2K10 Feature Blowout (IGN)
yeah you are correct about that.Yeah thats kinda a bitch to do without a media pc setup. I'd love to use that custom music pack for 09, but I'm way to lazy to burn all those tracks to a disk and manually edit everything in playlists. I've always been a big pbp guy, from way back when EA first added it to the PC version all those years ago.
i may have attempted the nhl 09 pack without my media center, but i would have lost interest bc no way would i name all those files.
now 2k on the other hand always had an easy set up with custom tracks and wasnt all that bad. so we shall see with that.
but the media center makes life easy with custom tracks...
even if i didnt have that, i still would turn off the booth guys. just annoying and stale after a while. i wish there was an option to turn them off half way and have them still say the player names when the puck goes to them.Twitch
