Looks like same old same old. Is there not a hockey game out there that will put in individualized front line vs. defensemen sliders? Questions will be, will the game be responsive to the penalty sliders and will they fix the strategy sliders?

What a pain in the arse slider tweaking is going to be. What would be the reason for taking the side by side Hu/cpu sliders out and stacking it on top ?

Sometimes it seems they just do stuff for the sake of it being different. 2k8 slider pages where great and easy to tweak now its going to be scroll city. Ahh FFS.

Its part of the reason I'm less enthusiastic when it comes to 2k hockey lately, you end up tweaking sliders more trying to get the game to play correctly than you do actual playing.

Not me, i just play on allstar and zero pretty much everything out, plays the best ever no more constant tweaking and if you feel a tweak is needed somewhere its realy easy to figure whats needed and where.
But for those who are constantly tweaking its going to make what you said even worse this year.

Finally they got Michalek a little faster than Marleau. Also, they have the Sharks D better than their O. Finally. I really like the ratings in this game better.
