Official NHL 2K10 Impressions Thread

[Peji911]

Alright boys, I have good news and bad news.

Good News: I have a copy of NHL 2K10 and 360 right beside me.

Bad News: Just like with NHL10, I am at work so I will just pop it in for now to prove I have it (check Gamertag), but I won't be able to play it until after work.

What a tease...

General Impressions:

- After playing NHL10, the controls on here are hard to get used to.
- I HATE speed burst in hockey games now.
- Seems you don't have as good of control over your player.
- Game seems a bit static, in that player doesn't seems to skate... it feels like he's running on ice.

I've never been a fan of the speed burst either.

Do you mean there's too much player momentum, and players don't move quick enough? I know past games felt like players were rollerblading or something, as opposed to skating.

what I'm going to do turn up the game speed some notches, turn OFF speed burst .

No speedburst and there will be no stupid one handed stickhandling animations.

hopefully this will work well

I don't know how to explain it... simply put, it feels like they are incredibly heavy and don't move well enough for a FAST game played on ice.

I believe ice friction is still there. You can try and adjust that slider. That might help.

That's a good idea. I forgot you can turn off speed burst.

[Peji911]

If you turn off speed burst, do they speed up on their own like in NHL 10?
