E3 NHL 10 Preview

MMChrisS · 06-16-2009, 11:50 AM

After my initial session with NHL 10, it’s safe to say that the NHL 10 team didn’t do anything crazy to ruin an already amazing gameplay experience. Instead the developers are taking the necessary steps to refine and tweak what’s in place. That refining and tweaking applies to things like goalie and passing controls, additional animations for goalies, additional moves for skaters, modified artificial intelligence and the overall modification of the core engine to create a more realistic hockey simulation. But enough with this overall outlook nonsense, let’s get specific.

I first got a NHL game this year and I loved it. Reading this article makes me want to continue buying from this series. Great post.

Great preview! Loving the changes so far!

Maybe you could do a part 2 on some of the things you can do with the puck and the physics?

Can never have enough info, right?

Kinda disappointing about the scrums, but overall was a great preview!

Chase, do you know by chance if the broadcast camera angle has been overhauled to look like real broadcast? (Reading your thoughts on presentation I bet not

)

I can't wait to play NHL10. My guys name on NHL09 was one of two names, Sean Avery (Not Steve Avery), and Happy Gilmore. I can't tell you how many times players on the other team just cheap shoted my guy, people really do hate Sean Avery for some reason. Can't wait to get the final laugh on NHL10 when that stuff actually matters. And can we please get a penalties drawn stat added to Team Play. I would get an A+ for TP every game if there were such a stat.

Actually, SI belive Steve Avery, former pitcher for the Atlanta Braves was a solid hockey player back in the day.

Bummer on the presentation side of things. EA really needs to step up their game when it comes to this- I miss the days of the Octopus being shown at the Joe, and the giant Shark head in San Jose.

Smh!! Steve Avery?!! That's a slap in the face to hockey fans
