    NHL 2K10 Hands-On Preview (2KHockey)

    2KHockey has posted their hands-on preview of NHL 2K10.

    "On Thursday, the good ol’ folks at 2K Sports were kind enough to let me try out NHL 2K10 before its release next month. I suppressed my excitement and tried to soak in as much of the experience as possible, since I knew I wouldn’t have a chance to play it for another 30 days or so.

    After putting some thought into it, I really feel the best way for me to translate my hands-on experience into useful information for you guys is to not only elaborate on aspects of the game I feel help replicate a realistic simulation, but to also note the most noticeable improvements over last year’s version."

    The Whale Is Back!

    Other than that sudden outburst of enthusiasm, I think this was a good preview. Not amazing, but good. At this point I think a demo would be the best thing that can happen to my outlook on 2K10, though...

    EDIT: Good to hear that the right-stick "NHL 10" controls are more responsive...but then again, a spin with a demo will tell me for sure. And is it just me, or does Ovechkin's face model look better in that screen than it did in the first trailer?

          The different lighting is going to be SICK! My SONY is going to be loving this game.

            The player models look very good actually. And the lighting is off-the-charts -- maybe the best ever in a video game. Impressive to say the least.

              Yeah I agree. The Sharks Tank looks so real. With those bight white lights. Can't wait to play this game.

                It would suck, if the intro were only for the playoffs. But after thinking about it, it is OK. You still have the same lighting and that will make each arena look different!

                    I liked the comparison of the jump from 2k4 to 2k5 resembling that of 2k9 to 2k10...that jump back then was a great one. I'm looking forward to giving this one a whirl!

                      Guys, just wanted to say that I missed something very important at the end of that preview and that was the special thanks and heads up about some exclusive gameplay footage on the way.

                        After playing EA's demo and being underwhelmed, I was hoping 2k would make the changes the previewer mentioned.

                        Looks like I'll be playing 2k again this year.

                          Agreed, more responsive controls? Good looking arenas Bring on the demo 2k and let the AI be good pretty pretty please.

                            I agree Realm I will say onething having the lights be difference will go a long way in realling making the Arenas feel different.

                              Interesting you say that as I was thinking about that after seeing these pics (didn't read the article). What's always impressed me with NFL 2K5 and with VC is how they're able to create the illusion of a 3-dimensional depth of field with their players. Whereas in a game like Madden, the players appear to me as flat animations moving in front of a two-dimensional background. This game looks like VC has taken all that to a whole new level.
