NHL 2K10 Patch Mention

More loose pucks wouldn't hurt either.

Both games have their achilees' heel defensively that are equally damning.. in 2K the Dmen back up too much and get out of position with the missed stick check, and in NHL10 the defenders still can't defend cross crease and they will randomly leave their position to chase the puck carrier leaving an entire side of the net undefended.

The 2k10 goalies are actually ok animation-wise, what kills them right now is the constant diving poke-check, failure to play angles correctly, and the sliding out of position on saves. Seems like this could be patchable since the animations are pretty solid.

"For the patch we are doing something really cool with stick sweeps, in relation to stick collision, which should reduce the amount of lame trips, while also reducing the amount of successful sweeps through players' legs."

Looks like that's one of the things the patch is going to improve/fix. It was mentioned on the 2khockey.net forums.

Should be LOL'ing at yourself for not reading correctly.

Why do you assume that is the only thing the patch is addressing? My post did say 'one of' and the quoted comment is from a discussion revolving around stick sweeps and poke checks. It's not from some official statement about everything the patch is changing.

That's just a part of what they will be addressing, not the ONLY thing. More info is supposed to be released later this week, so keep your whitie tighties on.

Why thank you. I am happy to know they are fixing something about the stick sweeping though. I still wish we could move while skating backwards, without having to let go of the left joystick for a split second.

come on 2k. I know you can't compete with EA's support team, but at the very least TELL us what you're going to fix. It's been a week plus since they told us "a few more days till all the patch details".

the patch will probably come out december-january but throw us a bone.

I agree. I have no problem waiting on a patch, we should all be used to waiting for a patch by now. But at least let us know what is going to be fixed so that I can decided if i want to wait for the patch.
