Welcome to the dark side...

There is no going back.

Lol I hope not, I always get bored after about a month when I can easily outscore the AI and than I focus on playing online.

So are both these simply based off what we've heard so far or from actual hands on? Anyone can write one of these based off what we've heard so far, heck I did, but it really means nothing until the full games are played.

I just dont understand why so many people tout this game so highly.... I watched the video of the new broadcast cam and it does not look nearly as good or animate as well as 2k9s . Why do people continuosly buy these EA games? 2ks hockey game last year was the best broadcast cam representation of any hockey game ever made period. It looks and plays like REAL hockey.Too bad that not many people ever played it because of nhl09s ea hype machine.

Madden has been lackluster at best, since last gen, they make no baseball and when they did sega was far better, the ea basketball games are always well behind 2ks, and this hockey game is so overrated its rediculous. 2ks hockey game last year was the best broadcast cam representation of any hockey game ever made period.

I posted it twice to be exact: once here in reply to whats hot and whats not and once in response to the broadcast video. I have no allegiance to any company. Whichever one makes the game look and PLAY the most like the sport is the game I buy. All I am saying is that 2ks game last year looked and played much more like actual hockey then ea's and yet it received poor reviews and everyone bought ea's game.

Ummmm ok.

I am the biggest NHL 2K fan in the forum and I will be the first to say last year's2K10 game was terrible. From the anemic coat hanger player models,to the choppy fast animations to the oversimplified bull rush AI offensive tactics. The game was a complete mess. NHL 2K8 was their best game by far.

However, on a side note, Im really concerned that another season will go by and we will still not be able to play RANDOM matchups in our franchise and be limited to only playing our own teams games

I much prefer the Madden, NBA 2K, NHL 2K style of open franchise mode that allows a player to have a more bird's eye (god-like) control of the franchise so that he/she can also enjoy playing random games of the week matchups and Stanley Cup Playoff matchups when they want a break from their own team.

Also one of the major Franchise problems of NHL Hockey for the last several years is the way that you really felt alone in your world....There was no sense that the CPU controlled teams were all fighting for the same goal as you, to win the cup. It felt so sterile

I would hope that these 2 concerns have been addressed

Will the Hartford Whalers uniforms be represented in the game? Specifically the green jerseys?

I have had one stumble shot. It was awesome however I wasn't able to get good wood on it. The animations are outstanding....
