Hmm? EA has never charged for that stuff in their NHL games.

Alternate jerseys have been free for the past 3 years what are you talking about.

Couple of screenshots that AP posted:




They are slightly bullshots, higher resolution than the Wii, but thats basically how the game will look.

I was out of town for the holiday, so thanks for linking to The Sun's story. All of the community reps had some time with NHL Slapshot at the event and I was one of the first to play it. I'm not a Wii guy, but I had a lot of fun with it. Alain from EA said we can't get into hands-on impressions yet, so when I can, I'll give everyone my thoughts.

While I've no interest in the Wii, I find it somewhat humorous that now 2k has competition on that platform. I wonder if next year they'll also "reevaluate" their position on the Wii with hockey as well.

Yeah, it's hilarious isn't it. Because competition and having two options is a bad thing...

Who said that? competition is a nice thing, I don't think it matters as much as some think it does in the grand scheme, but having more than one choice as the consumer is certainly nice to have. Lighten up, it was more a poke at 2k's lack of a 360/PS3 sku this year than anything else.
