This was never meant to be an in depth preview- that is what the above linked article was.

Yeah, and that's why I'm not up in arms about it. When the article states that it's getting some of its information from watching videos online, it's clear that it's not a full blown preview type deal. Just some pre-release highlights and lowlights.

I think it's totally cool to disagree with our writer (Christian aka Bumble) but as he said, we already did our hands-on preview -- we were quite positive about the game -- this is just meant to highlight a couple things that one writer was liking and not liking at this point.

Carry on.

Chase.... Problem is that there was soooo much more to highlight or go over. Venom did have good points in his 1st posts. But that was just poorly written and never should've been written. If they had played the game and then wrote what they felt was What's hot and Whats not then that would be totally different. However, to base this What's hot/not off a video that had one timers galore and " we have to hope in higher difficulty levels this will not be the case" a couple of developers insights that had some info with it is just not right.. I will be the first to admit not being happy with the amount of info we have gotten and will be the first to admit I wanted some videos attached to those developer insight to showcase what the text means, But the problem is again, How do you know those positives are hot or the negatives are not without really getting enough info to warrant that article.

Venom, I was upset that you bashed OS but thanks for the response... OS has never taken sides if they thought one company was better then the other.. They always give every game a fair shake!!! Thanks again

I hear where you're coming from, and it's certainly a fine line to walk. We wouldn't attach a preview to something unless we had hands-on or were on hand to look at the game. We just do these as a fun little way to stir up some more discussion as a game nears release. If you think there were better things to highlight as the highs and lows that's cool -- but that's just one opinion against the other in that case.

The headline at the top says preview because it's in our previews category, but that's just how our database separates things. The title itself does not have "preview" in it. Just wanted to make sure that's clear btw.

Yes!! very poor preview, more like a knock down on 2k hockey rather than an up-lift ,which is actually the case this yr (if you are informed)... and I'm a fan of both games. Not that it had to be said, but in this case it had to be said.

boo, to whoever wrote this uninformed down-play of 2k hockey.

I think in the future what we may do is put it in the "features" area to clear up the confusion.

If anyone has done NHL 2k10 an injustice its 2K Sports themselves...

for obvious and redundant reasons.

So there.
