Respectfully I disagree when it comes to player models. Goaltenders in real life these days LOOK bulky due to the size of the equipment and padding. Looking at 2k10's tenders you'd think not only are they not wearing chest protectors but the're not wearing shoulder pads either. The same can be said for the skaters, they appear to have no shoulder pads at all.

While the models themselves look better the equipment looks off. Granted its kind of a nitpicky gripe in the first place.

Yeah, hilarious that some think EA's are more realistic, yet when people point that out, it's called hating by people like you. No wait... that's not hilarious, that's called having a different opinion, gosh.

I see. Others can post pics pulled off the net that show the unis to be a certain color, but they're "wrong" and "trolling." You on the other hand can post pics off the net showing the unis to be a slightly different color, and you're "correct" and "righteous."

Don't mind me, I'm just trying to get the ground rules down, to save you the trouble of having to go all fascist on us next time there's an impressions thread to post in.

Heck tab babe, let's stop arguing and go to the source, shall we? The NYI's own site should settle this. Okay, let's see, how about these wallpapers:

Frans Nielson seems to be saying the same thing I am right now: "Hey, these uni colors don't look anything like that 2K pic!"

Hey tabula, no need to throw terms like "hating" or "fanboy" around here. This isn't 2khockey.net...this is where grown-ups go to have an actual discussion about hockey games.

I agree with others here that 2K beats EA in the presentation department. EA hasn't upgraded their presentation since at least NHL07, but their gameplay is tight. I'm more than willing to give 2K10 a shot this year because I feel EA's product is getting stale, due to the lack of presentation (I'm still playing NHL08 and enjoying it and IMO it looks the same as 10). I also agree with Scott and Eddie that 2K has better puck physics than EA's game.

Back on topic, I think the player faces look very good, except for the cover boy which is strange. You'd think 2K would get that right. The goalies don't look realistic either, there appears to be a lack of padding under their unis and the skaters don't appear to be wearing shoulder pads as previously mentioned. Overall though, this game is worth a shot.

Those arenas look gorgeous.

My only concerns is that they are only for the playoffs. I hope not. Those are the kinda presentation that can get me fired up for a game, especially at the Tank!

A lot of that is HDTV fault. When I see the sharks jerseys in person they look a lot more washout then they do on HDTV.
