NHL 2K10 Teaser Trailer (Gamespot)

so that is why it was so good back then... to me the initial code they did is still the best.. and they should of built in the right direction off that.. can you imagine if Treyarch could of built off that code for 2 more years at least? geeez

For sure. Sadly it didn't work out that way and we ended up with Kush ruining a good thing.

Steveee, 2K does have something similar to the EASHL this year. I think one of the biggest things that has plagued this series sadly is the fact that they haven't had a constant or consistant development team. Hopefully now that VC is doing it, things will stablize. I agree that NHL09 was better in ways, graphics, controls, and player positioning. I think 2K9 did some things better as well though and I think that will always be the case. For the record, both lacked good boardplay for some reason.

I think you just need to come to terms with the fact that you are extremely biased towards EA's hockey. I understand you were a 2K fan, and you played it up until 07, all that jazz. But your posts are continually negative towards 2K hockey, so I'm not surprised at all that you didn't like the trailer.

If EA had released a similar trailer that was just basically a promotional teaser and people were picking it apart and criticizing and making assumptions about the game based off of it, you would be one of the first people to shut them down and say "its just a trailer".

Its simply a cool little trailer letting everyone see the graphics and a cool little montage of a recreation of that zaney Ovechkin goal. If you want to look at it with a predetermined negativity that's fine.

I quoted only one of your posts, but every post you've made has been negative. You were freaking out for info and video, and once you get it you just look at it in a negative light and trash it. I understand you are pissed because 2K9 was a piece of junk, none of us are happy about that. But you don't have to go and ruin people's excitement for the game. If Scott is excited, let him be excited.

Don't mean to single you out, its just a little frustrating.

WOW, the skating engine looks to be redefined. Awesome, love how the arenas looked something 2k always does really well. This game is going to have so much life. It was brilliant of VC to go with the theme of fun. Nothing like a sim/fun game of hockey with all of the bells and whistles. And it looks like the best animations of any sports video game are even better this year. Very nice indeed.

Not really, EA's just been that much more impressive the past couple years and I'm not gonna get all hot over a stitched together minute trailer showing off a goal that should rarely be seen in game if at all is all. My posts are negative for a reason and trust me I find plenty wrong with elements of EA's game as well, not all of us wear blinders.

Yeah let Scott be excited! He has not much in life, so let him have this. Sure he has 2 cute sons, a hot wife and kick *** car. A great job that has him working only 180 days a year. And he is real hot with his blue eyes and brown hair and movie star looks and is 6 feet and 190 of almost solid muscle. But I am still excited for this game. I don't know why I like it better than EA's, but I do. I think it is the Arena's after you score a goal.

So you admit you are biased towards EA hockey. Which is fine, everyone has a right to like whatever they want, but you don't have to dump on people's excitement for 2K10.

For many longtime hockey videogame fans, 2K has had the superior game from 2K-2K8 (obviously excluding 2001). 2K8 is where most people differ, but I think I've already posted on here about how I believe 2K8 was the best simulation hockey game ever made.

In my mind, and I think a lot of people would maybe agree with me, 2009 was the first year EA has clearly had the superior game. All of the sudden its like the sky is falling and 2K hockey is irrelevant. I don't really understand how that happened.

For the record, not to announce it but to prevent the argument, I owned NHL 07, 08 and now have 09, and I played NHL 09 way, way more than 2K9. This is just the way I see things.
