Women don't like hockey they like shopping.

Imagine that.... women... what next? Likin the facewash features... I've always wanted the feature of after the whistle you mess with people and screw with the goalie and actually have retribution... bout time man!

First person fighting though....little weird.

I've been contemplating getting a NHL game for a while now...and this seems like a good one to start with. Lets hope it stands up to NHL Hits 2002...doubt it though :P

Looks pretty good, might pick it up because the last year version was so highly regarded.

Can't say I give a shit about women in the crowd though, lol.

Might as well call the game UFC Hockey 10.

The refinement for the goalies is huge. A lot of people found if you lobbed the puck up over the goalie's head, it was an instant goal because the goalie had no animations to turn around and stop a shot behind them.

Well in concept a first person hockey fight sounds awesome but it doesnt look so hawt in this.

Can it outdo Zeno Clash?!?

I for one am excited about the addition of the boardplay features!

As a person who never plays as any team but San Jose, I try to employ the cycle as much I can, and obviously the puck physics allow me to use the boards to make passes, and to get the puck behind the net, but it doesn't play out how the cycle really works in hockey. You can't just run and smash a guy into the glass when he's got the puck in the corner, you'll leave yourself open and he'll have two passing options: to the point or behind the net. This will allow me to make these passes when my player's skates are free but his stick isn't.

Another new feature will nerf the phenomenon of players using the diving pokecheck to kill breakaways. In real hockey, this can disrupt a breakaway, but it rarely kills it. And the NHL's biggest stars: Ovechkin, Malkin, and (cover athlete) Kane have all scored absolutely incredible goals from their knees and from their backsides.

If someone scores a goal like this on me, I'll fight the desire to rage quit :p

They should just slap Zeno Clash melee into NHL 10.

skyboost on July 7, 2009

Hope the board play doesn't ruin the flow.

Atomasist on July 7, 2009

You need to be drunk to enjoy hockey, or Canadian.
