Here we go again...maybe there isn't a reason for you to be excited, but many posters around here want two great hockey titles and are optimistic that both franchises will deliver this year. This "2K is inferior" banter makes no sense to me, as I've said earlier. Both games have their advantages and disadvantages...those who can't see that are drinking a ton of kool-aid.

It just baffles me that people assume that NHL2K10 will suck. Ok, 2K has had a few less than stellar years, it happens. VC took over last year and put out the foundation for the series they want to rebuild. This year, it appears they are building nicely onto that. Will it be perfect? Of course not, but I'm positive it will be much improved. If EA can bring their hockey series from the dumps to glory, I see no reason that VC can't repeat the task. Given their stellar history with sports games and all.

You do this every year. You bring nothing to this forum, so go back to EA's. I swear this to me is trolling, but oh well!

Another troll who is mad because people like a game that he hates. Mindless noise at it's finest.

Based on 2k9 do you blame them? Savoie, you honestly think it was a good decision on their part to continue with 2k9 to build on a crumbling last gen foundation with old code from previous years (I swear 2k9's goalie models are from 2k3) and consider that some "new" foundation? Its more like a frankenstein new build if you can even call it that.

I mean hell, theres no doubt 2k10 will be an improvement over 2k9 (anything is an improvement over 2k9), the better looking skater models alone will do wonders, as should arena specific entrances and hopefully the improved AI. But moving forward I almost wish they had taken a year off from both MLB and NHL to actually in reality completely build from the ground up, core engine code and all. Its really most likely the only way legacy issues like the franchise freeze will go away for good.

Well I respect your opinion, but that is all it is an opinion. Sure it has it issues, but it is still a solid game and if they fixed what they said they fixed then this will be a sleeper game. I have a feeling this game is going to rock!

NHL 2K9 was the greatest simulation of the sport of hockey that I have played. VC did a wonderful job with just half a development cycle. With the new A.I. and the brilliant move to make it a more fun game I'm extremely excited about this game.

I agree with you Scott. It was more than solid for myself and I can see the series only getting better. With VC in control the NHL series is in good hands.
