Thanks for the well balanced preview Chase.

As others have said...yeah, kind of a drag to hear not much new in the way of presentation. But, if the main focus is on ever improving, more realistic gameplay...I'm more than cool with that.

I'm really liking the sound of the new passing mechanic. I'm hoping if I chose "Hardcore"...the cpu will kinda follow suit. By way of their passing being off target at times as well.

Looking forward to hearing more.

Thank you for all of the help Chase. I really appreciate it. Making me hungry for September.=]

The passing sounds a lot better. The only downer is the lack of presentation improvements. Maybe they will add some later.

If not, I'm good because gameplay > presentation.

Yea, I always say: Make the game and go all out gamplay and then, with the remaining time, work on presentation.

Which is why I'm still inclined to think they wanted to wait to have more time to devout to presentation, get Thorne and Clement back in the studio and do it right rather than half *** it. I'm glad they adressed more important game play issues like the passing, board play and goalies quite honestly.

Me too since those were the games glaring issues. With those things improved along with the more intelligent franchise with trades all all the other little things like post-whistle play, board play, etc...

lets face it...this game is gonna be tough to match.

Definately, that was without even mentioning the little things like post whistle scrums (and penalties) new penalties added, enforcers and intimidation etc. I loved 09, I can't see not loving NHL10 even more.
