I think it was in 2K9 as well.

  • The Player Models have improved from any NHL 2k game. The players look very real, and I have to give credit. The models in 2k9 were awful.
  • I still think the skating looks akward at times. There were a few instances where they were literally skating into the boards.
  • I like the cycling. You don't see much of that in video games, and for the A.I. to be doing that is simply phenominal
  • The announcing is awful. Sounds very robotic and unnatural. Say what you want, but at least the EA series always did a decent job in this aspect. And no emotion for the goals either.
  • The arena looks like the Verizon Center. Nicely done.
  • The one-handed stickhandling is overused.
  • The puck physics were iffy at times. But the breakouts looked very solid.

The game has a ton of potential, but the only way to give it a test is to rent it at your local Blockbuster. However, this does look better than NHL 2k9, and I believe this game still has a couple of years before catching up to EA in terms of sales and overall gameplay.

I loved the menu, and how it looked when you looked at team stats. Invoked some memories of the EA series for the Sega Genesis.

Also to note, while the A.I. was improved, their were some slips, such as when Randy Jones attempts a pass and Ovechkin was right next to him.

I'll give 2k a rental, and hopefully if they can pull me in, I can add another NHL 2k game to my collection.

It is nice to have the option. I know alot of people like the way the clock works in EA hockey, but not me. In '08, I didn't really like how the clock would speed up, then slow down for powerplays, then speed up if it was dumped the length of the ice, then slow down again, then speed up after the power play, then slow down in the last minute. Not sure if EA added the options for this last year??

I also like how 2K gives the option to set the real time of 2 minute penalties. That is real nice, especially if playing shorter periods.

I agree with most of what you said, but I happen to like the announcing. The worst to me in any sport was NBA 2K9. Hopefully more folks will rent the game, because it's really the only way to know how much it has improved. You mentioned Blockbuster, but Hollywood video always has more copies of games to rent, at least in Northern Virginia.

I have not bought a hockey title on this gen yet and was giving 2k10 consideration because of the price point ...gameplay looks more than sufficient but the...commentary...feels very...disjointed...and not at all something I think I'd enjoy

hate to beat the dead horse but I really needed a demo here

This used to be my favorite hockey series from 2k3-2k7. Since then, this games has gradually too arcady and boring to me. With 2k's decision on not releasing a demo, I think I'll pass again this year. These videos didn't show me any significant improvements in gameplay from '09.

How so? What were you looking for that you didn't see?

I saw a big improvement in cpu cycling and use of the boards. In contrast, I didn't see the improvements I had hoped for with skating and goalies. Nonetheless, I definitely saw some improvement.

What's wrong with renting the game? Gamefly, Blockbuster, Hollywood video. There really are no excuses to see if a game is your cup of tea.

Have you no shame. You criticize Scott for post count padding, yet most of your post in the 2k forums are of the hating kind, goofy things like your favorite show the love boat, your hero Robin and other nonsense that has nothing to do with 2k. Oh well, at least it makes you stand out from the crowd. Good day.

Well, for someone like me (a college student), I can't drive to blockbuster to rent the game. There's no Hollywood video near campus (that I know of). I don't want to use gamefly because it would be a waste of money for me. I was really excited for a demo to try it out but I guess that's the way things go.

Well, I can't argue with any of those things. Check out those listings for Hollywood video in your area, you never know. Maybe some mom and pop type of video stores.

I'm really not going to search for a place to rent a game I'm on the bubble for when there are other games coming out I'm getting. 2k lost a potential sale from me by not releasing a demo.

For old time sake can you put the Love Boat vid up again for Eddie and Scott!!! That was classic... They are fun to mess with!!!! Love it...

Anyways back on semi topic.. I am really hoping we get some more vids this week.. It's coming down to crunch time... Hopefully one of the OS vets can get the game early so we can get some impressions going!!!
 
# 95 savoie2006 @ 09/07/09 05:24 PM
Dafly the videos were already too long. They wanted to get as much raw gameplay vid out there as possible so it seems logical to me to cut out things like Cutscenes and Intermisson Reports. The biggest flaw to me is the fact that the videos were too long for Youtube, which would have really helped get the game some exposure.

Well Scott will be playing the game hands on this Friday he said, so he'll be giving us some impressions soon. How biased or unbiased they will be remains to be seen, but at least he'll be able to say he has played the game before it was released.

I can usually count on 2k not to screw simple things like that up, especially after having it right for years.

If the reviews are solid and there aren't game-breaking problems, I may look for it on e-bay or in the used bin in December.

The only problem I have is that magazine reviews and such are based on limited playing time, so alot of the flaws in a game aren't pointed out. Take NHL09 for example, if all those flaws that plagued the game upon release were noticed by reviewers, do you really think the game would have gotten high 8 scores? Nope, but 2K would fare far worse as well. Point is, to try and wait and catch some solid reviews from people that spent time with the game and can catch most of the flaws. Thats my opinion on how I personally would go about it if I was on the fence.

Reviews of sports games are generally something you want to take with a grain of salt. It's the same with any game type that you're really into.

For example, I love rhythm games. I've spent more money than I'm willing to admit on them. I know that (in my mind) Rock Band is better than Guitar Hero for a number of reasons. Reviewers give them both similar scores because they're pretty and have songs in them. But, after hundreds of hours of gameplay, I prefer Rock Band for it's intuitive charts, nice presentation, and good visual response.. among other things.

Reviewers will never portray this in a review because what they do is only really skin deep. If you're going to play a game for hundreds of hours it's always best to rent it and give it the time for yourself.

No review can tell you how you'll feel about a game after sinking hundreds of hours into it.

In short, I agree lol
