What they need to do is copy 2K and have real-time celebrations. It looks fantastic in both NHL2K9 and MLB2K9.

That would be glorious. Maybe...just maybe, the new feature is like MLB2k9's real-time stuff. NHL could do it. Have real-time line changes, faceoffs, and celebrations?

pretty sure littman said that same thing last year, then it was the same passing as all the previous games. and they actually made intercepting passes even more frustrating.

I took i wild guess and searched youtube for NHL 10 videos and the 2nd blog video popped up.

Good find Shake. While I'd too love to see realtime celebrations/presentation ala MLB2k9, I'm in the camp that gameplay fixes are far more important. Animations animations animations, less tape to tape passing, a better implimentation of board play, puck physics and player seperation (scrubs not playing like Ovie or Crosby) are the top of my list of things that right now MUST be addressed.

Edit: after watching part two, Tape to tape passing, goalies, and dynasty features. If all 3 of these are addressed to the point of being actually better and not just bandaid fixes.

For me personally that will get me by for another year as those 3 along with board play and puck physics (fingers crossed) are the biggest gripes I had with 09. To hear Mr Littman say they had a guy on Goaltending all year long goes along way in giving me confidence that this team really is listening to us, the hardcore fans.
