Not that much of a hockey fan (altho I do like the Dallas Stars), but this game looks pretty impressive. This may very well be the first hockey game I buy since the original NHL 2K (change it up a little from the other sports games that I regularly play). Time for me to go find some info on this game.

Since this game is aimed at casual fans, it should be perfect for you.Not that much of a hockey fan (altho I do like the Dallas Stars), but this game looks pretty impressive.

Re: NHL 2K10 Gameplay Videos (IGN)
It's aimed at both hardcore and casual, which if you ask me is the way games should be. They should be realistic and authentic enough for the hardcore fans, yet still accesible and easy to pick up and play out of the box for the casuals.Comment

Re: NHL 2K10 Gameplay Videos (IGN)
Yeah...but 2k10 is more specifically aimed at casuals as EA's game has a bit more of a learning curve with the skill stick...
...but thanks for your take.Comment

Re: NHL 2K10 Gameplay Videos (IGN)
What learning curve? Didnt 2k8 get eaten alive for having a steep learning curve.
Now you think Ea has the steeper learning curve with its simplified controls.Comment

Re: NHL 2K10 Gameplay Videos (IGN)
Yeah 2k8 sure did get eaten alive...I played 2k8, learned the controls in a day. There was a lot of ignorance that came from the abuse 2k8 took...don't underestimate that factor.
I'd say the skill stick has a lot more difficulty and experience required than 2k8 had.
IMO.

Re: NHL 2K10 Gameplay Videos (IGN)
When it comes to all the one on one dekes I agree. I don't find learning them very user friendly honestly. The rest of is, easy. I also agree that 2K8's controls were not that difficult. Not near as bad as the so called critics and casuals made them out to be.Yeah 2k8 sure did get eaten alive...I played 2k8, learned the controls in a day.

I've never had more fun with a hockey game than I had with 2k8...its my all-time favorite.
I have a feelin' NHL 10 might knock it off that pedestal though. We'll see.Comment

Re: NHL 2K10 Gameplay Videos (IGN)
Learning 2k8's controls wasn't hard, it came down to the controls just not being intuitive. Having to press two shoulder buttons for a slap shot is downright bad design to begin with not to mention the dial a dekes.Last edited by RealmK; 08-12-2009, 01:31 AM.Comment

Re: NHL 2K10 Gameplay Videos (IGN)
Player faces look much improved but Im a goalie and those Bucket head crab people netminders are very disappointing at best .
2k8 player models were great these look stumpy like old EA games , triple play baseball and the old NHL EA series .
So bad I wont even purchase the game this year , first time since dreamcast
You cant even fix um with the lack luster mask creator , 2k do it right or dont do it .
Intros are ok but kinda of just like last year .
This game even with the visual improvement just seem like a last gen game to me and gameplay looks like the same north south tic tac IMO.Comment

The goalie issue I understand. The Intros I think are better than last years for sure. As far as the gameplay, I wouldn't put too much stock into this lame IGN video.Player faces look much improved but Im a goalie and those Bucket head crab people netminders are very disappointing at best .
