Re: NHL 2K10 Screenshots (IGN)

I agree baa.. if they had 2k's intros, arenas, and goal horns.. wow... but they seem to have focused on game play the last few years and I can only hope next year it's presentation.. ala Madden.

I'll just come out and say it, EA adds 2k like intro's, arena's, and gets the goal horns correct, NHL2k is done, kaput, finished.

I see it this way first you have to have gameplay I mean a game can look great but if you cant play it
Then player models , games modes and then presentation better know as the cherry on top .:wink:

It wont happen 2k always has better Animation and presentation it is what they are known for. EA needs to learn how to make Arenas look different before they take that crown. They are all cut from the same cookie cutter. I think both games are going to be solid gameplay if that happens then EA is threw.

Disagree. The way the puck come off the stick in EA is weird. Not all the time just on some certain animations. Can't explain it, so we will just agree to disagree. I am talking moslty about NHL2K9 and NHL09. NHL10 looks like they ironed out some of those ugly ones. The puck thing is still there though.

I agree with you on the way the puck comes off the stick, i even noticed on a vid of the demo where it looked like the puck lifted of the ice first then left the stick, i dont know how to describe it but it feels like the puck is floaty . 2k's puck physics are far superior in my opinion.

And since you feel that way (which is what I thought all along) does that mean no more endless bashing under the guise of wanting the game to be better? People have been clogging up the madden forums doing the same exact thing. You admitted that you want the series to be done and I'm glad you said that. I will keep that quote for future reference.

Back on topic, you said "once" EA adds all of those things? Well how many years does it take to even get started. I mean the series is going on what 17 18 years? Gamers like yourself don't like those things so why would they waste money on it now?

Having authentic arenas really does bring a game alive and 2k does a great job at that. EA's arenas in not just nhl, but nba live just feel plain and not really different along with the atmosphere. 2K arenas really make you feel like you are watching a real game with the authentic arenas and the sound effects in the arenas. EA has added the arena atmosphere in nba live and I think they should focus on it for NHL next year because the gameplay is there.

2k just needs to improve their sales...period. You can have the prettiest areans and the best gameplay in the world, but without a solid customer base it really doesn't matter.

Re: NHL 2K10 Screenshots

Sales numbers? blah blah blah. Doesn't mean a thing to someone who doesn't like their product.

then why are you bringing up EA in the first place in the thread ?

It is almost like it is being shot out of the stick. It just looks weird. I thought maybe they would fix that, but I guess it is not a big deal to them. The Puck Physics are just so realistic in 2K. I hope some day they can make it more loose from the stick and less magnetic, but for now I am cool with it.

Interesting and telling, the almost complete absence of goalie screenshots. It was evident in the videos that the goalie player models/masks are still all wrong. The player model for skaters isn't correct either. Players aren't bulky enough and their shoulders don't appear properly padded. And sorry, but I don't get the dusty, muted color palette they use for player unis. Makes the game look like one is watching it through fog.

I think this is a bad picture to show differences. First the shoulder look about the same in both pics. And second look at the details in that face. Also, on my TV they are more of the color on right. So maybe it is the TV or pictures that make them look faded.
