It’s hard to believe that it has been nearly 10 years since NHL 2K debuted on the Dreamcast, but nonetheless here we are, celebrating the 10th anniversary of a series that, at various times in its history, has been considered the finest hockey videogame available on consoles. While many will argue the 2K series peaked around NHL 2K7, or perhaps as early as NHL 2K3, 2K Sports and developer Visual Concepts are nevertheless here with their latest hockey offering, NHL 2K10.

Is this the game that puts the 2K series back on the top of the hockey videogame mountain? Maybe not, but if nothing else, it represents an interesting alternative for those looking for a fresh take on the sport.

This is why OS is such a great place. The reviews given here are not only fair, but very well written and thought out. Great job guys.

Yeah a fair enough review - id score it more than a 7, but as the review states, thats because ive found a sweetspot with the sliders.

Hockey fans should be disappointed if they dont at least give this game a go... especially tweaked.

Very nice. I agree with most of the things he said. To me with the right siders it is about an 8 if they patched some of the D problems it would be a 9 for me.

great job. its about an 8 to me though. and in the review he's spot on about the faceoffs man. its fantastic.

OS did 2k10 justice by giving it a fair as well as critical review. Glad to see the reviewer mentioned how beautiful the game plays and looks on the broadcast camera angle. Everyone should try it. Once you go broadcast, you will never go back...lol. Its imperative that you find a good league to play this game online with. A good league with good sliders and fellow sim coaches is what this game was built for. Not random online ranked cheese fest matches nor boring offline franchises.

amedawg, you are right on about the online leagues. That's what 2ksports does really well in my opinion. Their online leagues extend the life of their sports games very well.
