Thats a really nice touch, hope the game plays as decent as it looks.
    Wouldn't be an issue for me. I haven't listened to the commentary since 2k6. I go for that "at the game" experience, rather than "watching it on tv" one. To each their own though.

    As great as the review sounds and the pics look, I won't be convinced of anything until I play a demo.

      I agree. Supposedly it will be out Sept. 1st. I will get the NHL Demo today and play that till the 2k one comes out and then decide. I did the same thing last year.

        Re: NHL 2K10 Hands-On Preview (2KHockey)

        I love presentation too in hockey games. One of the things that I think is well over due and I am really happy to hear about is changing the lighting hues to match each arena. I agree with Scott that this will go a long way to making each game in each venue feel unique and will give the game extra life.

        This thing bugs me about EA's game. The ice and arena's all feel the same no matter where you go, just painting team logos at center ice doesn't change or add much at all. So I am really happy to hear that 2k have chosen to work on this in their game. I think this addition works subtley to make the game feel organic and not generic presentation wise.

        I really, really hope this gets released in Australia.

          I agree, things like the lighting, arenas, etc. gives the game more life. That is the one area that holds me back from EA hockey. I don't understand why they won't improve this area and have true to life arena's.

            It's not that they "will not' improve that area, but like Redshirt has said, they only have so much $$$ to allocate to certain areas of improvement - and honestly, I'm glad they got the board play/game play right. I would be willing to bet EA focuses more on presentation next year. I do love the 3 starts of the game, the stanley cup celebration, etc..

            2k spent alot of time on presentation and hopefully they also spent a great deal of time on game play and smoothness with respect to player movement.

            I say this time and time again, those kick arse intros better be in franchise season games this year!

              I'm sure they will be in franchise mode. Why would they go to all of that trouble to have actual game intros and not use them. Of course I understand the skepticism because of last year. That would be a major disappointment this time.

                Wow! I'll hold off on official judgement until the demo but man, if this game delivers what's mentioned in this article, then hockey fans are in for a treat this year.

                Those Whalers jerseys nearly brought a tear to my eye and the arenas look sick - in a good way

                  I haven't played 2k in a couple years. EA is still my game of choice for hockey (for now). Might actually have to play this game this year. Demo would be nice.

                      Really interested in the camera angles this year. Play closer to the action could have me switch from EA.

                        Speaking of camera angles do they have a playable broadcast cam like they do in nba2k? I just like playing in tv style...

                          If it is anything like last year you will be very happy. That is one of the best things about this game. It looks so real too. Youtube and see for yourself.
