NHL 2K10 Online Team Up Videos (IGN)

Tape to tape passing.

Laser shooting.

Speed bursting up and down the ice with one breakaway/odd man rush after the other.

Yeah, it was pretty bad. I would think that with the pass assist slider minimized it would have made for a much more realistic look.

...but for the most part...not so great...and ronnie2k sucks. hehe

Yeah, just saw a post by Shadow confirming it on the 2KHockey forums so it's most likely in.

I figure you would have seen that, but didn't know. Any way I like what I am seeing.

Wow. I want this game to be good, but damn, does it look awful. It looks stiff and arcadey.

It's a shame because their broadcast camera is the best I have ever seen in a hockey video game.

Coming off this video, I can't help but wonder if sliders dramatically influence gameplay. I posted this in the massive "Developers Are Listening" thread...

I hate to bring up Midway's NHL Hitz Pro again, but it's one of the only games I feel can cater to every gamer's tastes. I feel an approach similar to Hitz Pro will undoubtedly support 2K's mantra of creating a fun, yet realistic hockey experience. In my opinion, the three control selections of NHL 2K9 offered three distinct ways of playing the game. If this philosophy can be expanded to the entire gameplay itself, gamers will be able to select the gameplay that suits their own expectations of a hockey title. I'm not talking about adding the flaming pucks and glass-shattering checks that stigmatize the Hitz series, but sliders that can dramatically affect a game's feeling. Does a gamer prefer a faster, "arcade" game with increased hitting? Or does a gamer prefer a slower, methodical and painfully realistic game of hockey? Offer both. Make the experience as customizable as possible. That way, you can deliver fun AND realism with a gameplay experience that caters to the INDIVIDUAL gamer and not a bunch of unsatisfied gamers at large.

...did they listen? It may seem so, as many aspects of the game seen in the 2KHockey videos with "sim sliders" are virtually nonexistent in this video. Then again, this is an Online Team-Up game without an AI player in sight. So maybe that's the excuse, I don't know.

All of which are slider adjustable, so just because it's that way in the videos doesn't mean it has to be that way in the game.
