NHL Developer Insights: NHL 2K10 Improved AI

2K Sports has just posted another NHL Developer Insights. This one going over the improved AI in NHL 2K10.

Quote:
"I enjoyed reading the feedback from the first few insights by Abe and myself. I am back now to explain what is new with AI. One of the compliments our hockey series always gets is that it feels organic. You don’t get that “scripted” feel when playing it. However, it has often seemed too chaotic at the same time; too many players would end up in the same spot, d-men were too worried about attacking the puck carrier rather than staying in position. So this year our biggest goal was to keep that natural feel while also giving players better assignments on the ice at all times. Whether it is on the puck, off the puck, on offense or defense, everything you see AI players do will be much smarter this year."

Really like what I read. The fact that the CPU is not going to be so hit happy is great to read. Position play as opposed to hit at all costs hockey. Really psyched for this game after reading this article.

Re: NHL Developer Insights: NHL 2K10 Improved AI

Really liking what we're being told. But of course, you won't really know for sure until you get the game (damn it!).

I'm really digging the new sliders. Hopefully the extremes (0 and 100) are really extreme. If I put stick lifting frequency on 0, I don't want to see ANY stick lifts. On 100, I want to see a ridiculous amount of stick lift attempts. Stuff like that.

Definitely love what I'm hearing. Sounds like this game will be very tweakable.

Very nice. This game sounds like it will be incredible. Can't believe the overflow of information in the last week. September can't get here quick enough.

If the sliders actually work like they say, this is showing a lot of promise!

These blogs have been incredible.
GM Personalities that shape what kind of team you'll face; better defensive AI, contextual animations reflective of players attributes...it all sounds awesome!
