It can be turns off.

Thanks...just saw Shadow's reply. I figured it would be as 2k is usually really good about giving the user a lot of options.

That is where they dropped the ball last year, but in the PS2 game you could turn off everything. So I am hoping for that this year too.

In a few of them you see "RW/LW", "RW/LW", etc. So does this mean that 2K10 will be the first hockey game to actually have multiple positions for certain players? Awesome!

2k9 had it, maybe after the roster update or if the user switched them but it is deffo in there.

Is there a list of all of the sliders available this year? I really hope they did away with the global GOD sliders. Separate O/D sliders all the way around would be good.

The new franchise features looked awesome. I couldn't really tell much from the gameplay though. It didn't really look any different from 2k9 to me. D-men still back up way too much, skating still looks awkward and players still catch the puck on their backhand most of the time. Sorry, I don't think I've been this apathetic about hockey games in years. Nonetheless, looking forward to some full-out gameplay vids to really show any ai improvements made.

So you didn't notice that there was no longer 2 or more players always chasing the puck carrier and instead were playing more man to man?

Decent preview! My interest in the series has returned!
