NHL 2K10 Screenshots

2k just needs to improve their sales...period. You can have the prettiest areans and the best gameplay in the world, but without a solid customer base it really doesn't matter.

It is almost like it is being shot out of the stick. It just looks weird. I thought maybe they would fix that, but I guess it is not a big deal to them. The Puck Physics are just so realistic in 2K. I hope some day they can make it more loose from the stick and less magnetic, but for now I am cool with it.

And sorry, but I don't get the dusty, muted color palette they use for player unis. Makes the game look like one is watching it through fog.

I think this is a bad picture to show differences. First the shoulder look about the same in both pics. And second look at the details in that face. Also, on my TV they are more of the color on right. So maybe it is the TV or pictures that make them look faded.

I was comparing the one thing that keeps me from fully embracing EA which is their lack of presentation. I think it's a fair comparison. My point is just to mention how I feel about that, and that the sales numbers and 12 awards means nothing to me if the presentation isn't up to par.

I agree. If that doesn't happen this year, then I'm not sure what else they can do. We haven't played the game yet but it looks as if they put a lot of time and effort into making many improvements in 2k10, so I would expect more people to give it a try this year.

I truly believe if you make a great game, people will come. Basically I am saying "If you build it they will come."

unfortunately, not if the company doesn't go out of their way to show people how good of a product they have.
