NHL 10: No Gimmicks, Just Results

Of all the sports games being released, (most notably from EA) I must say that NHL 10 seems to be making improvements in the right area; gameplay.

The producers of NHL 10 seem to "get it." They don't over-hype the game every year, they listen to our gameplay complaints and pet peeves and they fix them. EA's NHL series doesn't add gimmicky features like "Team Builder," or build hype like "Pro-Tak" and use gimmicky slogans ("Fight for every yard.")

From watching and reading all of the inside blogs I can tell how genuine the producers of NHL 10 are. They know what hockey should look like and they respond to complaints about the game and fix things. I believe that the NHL 10 producers may be the best in the business, even surpassing the team at SCEA.

EA's NHL series is about making a solid product that portrays the sport of Hockey in every way. I look forward to playing the game as I do every year. EA's NHL series has earned my respect, now it's time for the rest of EA to do likewise.
