And to the person above saying Buffalos arena isn't correct, That may be but it's still better then a generic arena!!! Right

I am a big graphic whore! So to me this is amazing. Just the details in the jerseys, sweat and other things, have got me so freaking pumped for this game. I hope the game play is sweet for you guys, but for me this goes a long way. I liked last years game, gamplay wise. Graphics were hard for me, but now I am amaze how far they came from last year in that department.

Like I said TIm, it may be inaccurate but it's the best version of HSBC Arena any video game has ever presented.

And yes, I second the suggestion for gameplay footage but I don't want to sound obnoxious. And...as much as I think 2K hockey's arenas are the best in the business, something just hit me...the best HSBC Arena in any video game is actually *GASP* inaccurate! The red walls that divide the 100 from the 200 level and "table seats" on the ends (not quite sure what to call them) are actually at a different height on the ends than on the sides. I'm willing to forgive them, though, because (1) it's a generic-named arena (can't get rights for the HSBC name) and (2) NHL 10 isn't doing any better. Looking forward to the next Insight, hope some video's attached.

If this is all you have to say negative about the Arenas I think that is a good thing for us! l

I think the players models look great too. They just look life like.

The Sharks Tank looks amazing! Time for some Seek N Destroy!

Where is the Stanley Cup banner at the Shark Tank? Oh, that's right. It's reserved for NHL 2K11.

I understand, I have a feeling ESPN would be all over that match up! It is cool having 2 games to choose from. I think I am only getting one game this year. So I will try both and pick the one that has what I like.
