NHL 2K10 Feature Blowout (IGN)

I just hope the skater doesn't stop skating after a stick lift.

I'm still not quite sure what to make of the game just yet. Too much Wii information for my liking, it's not the version I'll be buying despite the Wii Motion Plus info.

However...

-2K Share includes custom draft classes. This comes right off the heels of EA's announcement that prospects can be edited. If the name bank includes more non-NHL rookie names (like last year's game, which included "Schenn" and "Tavares" among others) then we could be in for something interesting.

-Graphics are the best I've seen from this series based upon the other screens. Yes, I prefer 2K10's graphics to 2K8's.


I rest my case.

-Arena models are still the best on any console sports game IMO - the screen shot of the MSG arena introduction looks amazing.

-Cool to see they're taking a page from the vastly underrated "Live Opponent" feature from Madden 07 - something that I thought could have been used in other games. Now, from what I hear, every game you play in 2k10 can be played online. Great news for online players but I don't play online that much so it's not something I can see myself using.

-Team-Up + Create-A-Team = 2KSHL? :P

Other than that, more information on the 360/PS3 versions in the future would certainly be nice.

Same here bro seriously not understanding what their motives are at this point. Hell I even bought 2k9 and 2k8 used a couple weeks ago to try and force myself to get used to pro stick and maybe grow to like it, epic fail, considering you can't even get updated rosters since 2k was so nice to shut the servers off for 2k8. But hey at least 2k10 has a puck protect feature and stick lifts I guess.

For once this forum has more viewers than the EA forum...

That said I'm happy we finally got something. I wasn't expecting ALOT as apparently some were. Hopefully tomorrow Ronnie's blog will touch on some more. I would really like to see some video just to see the game in motion, but I honestly don't bank on that too much. I mean look at the videos IGN posted for EA. They hardly do the game justice I'm sure.

But we both know they are just taking something EA has done and claiming it as their own...right? right?...hurl

*this is sort of an inside joke...I don't mean that...for those who might wonder*

heh even ripping off EASHL with create a team/team up. Not that its a bad thing as both games borrow features from each other.. But seriously? Ronnie hypes it up like we're going to get some substantial info finally and most of it is about Wii controls. Hey 2k, why not just outright conceed to EA on the two next gen platforms, it would save some of us alot of time worrying about which game to get.

They've basically already done this in my eyes. Oh well, I won't be overspending on hockey games this fall.
