I actually bought NHL10 first. Had for about a week and traded it in on 2K10. Now with them actually releasing a patch, I'm even happier about my decision.

This game sucks... Nothing works correctly. Better to play NHL 10 arcade hockey then to deal with the constant freezing in this game!

# 26 mooseontheloose @ 10/17/09 11:48 AM

I haven't had a single freeze (360), so I dunno.

NHL 10 is not an arcade game!

If NHL 10 is "arcade" then what is 2k10?

2k10 is just as much arcade as NHL 10. Both games do different things more "sim" than the other, as well as more "arcade".

By boardplay do you mean pinning? lol if you think that's sim.

lol please, you have no idea wtf you're talking about. The other night I even specifically looked for 'pinning' and, just as I thought, it was minimal. I could count the amount of real pins on one hand. Yes players get rubbed out along the board or pressed against it for a second, but a true pin is incredibly rare. Not only that but the ease with which you can pin at any time you want in NHL 10 is completely unrealistic given that making a pin in the NHL takes timing, positioning, angle, etc., all of which can be negated by the person you're trying to pin.

Sorry, I get that you're an EA homer but there is simply no way to argue that boardplay in NHL 10 is accurate. Neither game does boardplay properly, but a true sim representation would be somewhere in between (ie. limited 'pinning' combined with incidental contact and the ability to battle for position when going for the puck).

You're actually one of the few I've seen who claims to have watched for pinning in the NHL and actually claims it exists as represented in EA. I'm not shocked though.

Oh, and as usual your proclamation of NHL 10 being the better sim game is limited only to on-ice gameplay, as usual. Obviously you're not a sim player/franciser, otherwise you would understand that bad trade logic and a weak sim engine are just as game-breaking for a sim experience as magnetic pucks.

Yes...the idea is to play YOUR games.
But at the very same time...the rest of the league is simming and 10 has some truly ugly warts in multiple areas of that part of the game. From stats through trades.
If you are going to play single games....10 is definitely ahead overall.
If you want to zoom out a bit and look at the whole picture......

From your perspective, yes. From mine and other people who enjoy producing sim franchises, not necessarily.

I've said it before, but - a game loses all of its appeal to me (and other sim guys) if the sim experience ends when the final buzzer sounds. Obviously you care about gameplay enough to have that direct your decisions regarding these two games, but you fail to realize that everyone does not fit that mold. I'm not sure if you play Madden or NCAA but if you do, and read these forums, you'll realize that off-field sim experience is just as vital as 'fun' gameplay.

10 might be more polished, or even more fun, but that has nothing to do with being more sim. Neither is fully sim, but NHL 10 is not more sim as an overall franchise package. Given that you clearly don't care about achieving a true sim franchise experience, I'm not sure why you even care.

Seriously man, it's getting boring coming in here. it's either that or you have the guys that say BOTH games are good over and over again.

Mods hardly ever come in here and regulate.

Simming? You again completely miss the point, but there is clearly no point in arguing with you.

Hopefully we get word on the exact details soon, would be nice to know what exactly they're looking at.

At best from a gameplay perspective they'll fix the goalie angles and the poke checking, along with the other game breaker freezes (although i've never experienced them on the PS3)

I think everyone will be 100x happier if they fix the goalies.
