Yes the arena's look magnificent. The lighting is simply superb. I can't wait to be on the road this year. The faces are so much more improved over 2k9. This game is going to be so much fun to play.

I don't think I've ever seen better looking arenas in any hockey game...everything is spot on.

Everything looks so much better graphically this year. I know graphics aren't everything but after playing the NHL 10 demo and then popping in 2k8 it was hard to play 2k8 even though it is a great game. If 2k10 can get back to what 2k8 was with improved graphics I may be going back to 2k this year.

Players grabbing sticks! Players grabbing sticks! Animations other than players just mindlessly skating up and down the ice!

Looks sensational. Too bad the goalies didn't get the same love, they're a real visual letdown in comparison.

Yes it is. Not sure if I can play in EA's generic arenas after seeing these screens but it will come down to gameplay of course. Waiting for a 2k demo to compare it to NHL 10.

I'll cope for another year, just as I'll cope Ea's Presentation being much the same.

No kidding. You've got awesome arena and player face models (well, maybe not Ovechkin lol) that blow away NHL 10. On the other hand, you're stuck with goalie models that look like a 6 year old kid's rendition of a hockey goalie.

Look at the Steve Mason screenshot:

a) He looks like he's wearing one of those cheap street-hockey masks
b) He looks like he's wearing equipment designed for peewee hockey goalies. Seriously guys, the NHL didn't change the equipment restrictions that much.
c) What's with holding the stick well above the paddle? If a real goalie held it like that, they'd be getting their stick knocked out every few minutes.

Also, I'd say the lighting effects are still very poor, that's one thing that EA nails really well.
