NHL 2K10 Teaser Trailer (Gamespot)

[savoie2006]

No, for once they actually look next gen. Yeah the player faces will be hit or miss, but that's tolerable since I don't have to look at their ugly mugs while skating down ice.

They are?

Yeah, I spent a few seconds trying to figure out which NHL team had a Japanese player on their roster, before I figured out who it was. Why would they put out a trailer featuring closeups of their cover athlete that don't look anything like him? 2K is one strange company.

Overall, an incredibly lame trailer given the time to start showing 2K10 in-game footage was WEEKS AGO. And no, I don't buy that anything has actually changed with the game when all they show us is some uber-edited, pre-rendered fantasy video.

Exactly...This goal was 3 years ago...Why didn't they add it then...

Most importantly, NHL 2K10's more superficial upgrades will be accompanied by AI improvements; Bishop specifically mentioned things like better positioning, players looking for open space to make passes, and better puck movement all around. As Bishop puts it, NHL 2K10 represents a return what made older version of the NHL 2K series so successful. "We really wanted to go back to our simulation roots. Last year, we had more of an easy pick-up and-play control scheme and we really wanted to make the game fun and accessible to any type of user. We certainly don't want to move away from that goal this year but… we've spent a lot of time making sure it plays a better game of hockey."

This is all that is important to me.

An realistic offline hockey sim with great AI is what we need.

I see that most "hardcore" hockey fans don´t seem to be able to appreciate players that have realistic proportions? EA models are too bulky (except goalies), and 2k10 looks really nice in that area (except goalies which look ok only).

THe only thing this trailer proved was that the blind haters are all around these boards. I can´t say what the gameplay will be like, but player models looked awesome (except the goalies who only looked oK) and have much more realistic proportions than NHL09/10.

It's too canned. Typically in-game footage is NOT part of a trailer. In-game vids are in-game vids. Trailers = Commercials = polished. That is, no way the game looks that good on a PS2 (in-game).
