The game will be out before we know it and I was wondering if like the the madden forum we could get a giantbomb team/league going. there is already a ps3 thread going and I would not mind doing a xbox360 version.
NHL 10
Game » consists of 6 releases. Released Sep 15, 2009
The 19th installment of EA Sports' long running series, NHL 10 brings a new degree of toughness through one-on-one battle refinements and a new board physics engine, as well as various EA Sports Hockey League adjustments.
where are the giantbomb hockeyfans?
Hell yeah, right here fellas.
I've been waiting for a real NHL game for a pretty long-ass time now (since NHL 2002, a.k.a. the best hockey game ever made), but keep getting sidetracked at their release. I bought NHL 2K7 a few years ago, but that was pretty well a throwaway title as it wasn't very good at all and totally glitched out on me in various different ways, including freezing at the post-game calendar midseason, twice, with two different copies (after returning the first to Wal-Mart) and save files of the game. I vowed never to buy another 2K Sports game after that disaster.
NHL '10 seems like it fits the bill, especially after my team won the Stanley Cup (GO PENGUINS) and will hopefully be ranked #1 overall (eff off Red Wings). The new fight system looks okay, if not gimmicky; board-pinning looks useful, although I will probably rarely use it, if at all.. but I am most interested in the new (to me) 'Be A Pro' mode and the online functionality. If any of you guys are interested, I would gladly play a few games with/against you, provided you've got an Xbox.
Oh, and re:

" Balsillie can suck it. "
.. I live about an hour out of the London/Hamilton area of Ontario, and I gotta tell you, people are pretty excited about the possibility of a move. I'm sure you're a big hockey fan, but hockey runs in the blood of just about everybody in Southern Ontario, and while I still think it was a total dick move of Balsille to totally blindside an entire organization like that.. ehh, another team in a province that would really appreciate it would be great.
They'd have to fire Gretzky first, though. He's a goddamn douchebag.
" @ShinyD3mon: Oh, I have nothing against expansion, just don't relocate my team. "Yeah because him and the 3 other fans Phoenix have will be pissed!!
@ShinyD3mon:
So that means you haven't played NHL09 or 08 at all? You're in for a treat man because 09 way the best hockey game ever created, and i've played them all too except 99 and 2001.
" @ShinyD3mon: Oh, I have nothing against expansion, just don't relocate my team. "I'm curious, and absolutely no offense is implied here, as to why cheering for the team would be so different if the city is moved. Your profile says you live in Florida, but if your hometown is Phoenix I guess it would be a whole other matter. If you're not from Arizona, and if the team didn't move any of the teams players, coaches or managers, what is the problem?
Don't say its because you hate Canada.. ='''(

"I have played NHL 08, and I really liked the skill-stick and new gameplay elements. I guess it's just a nostalgia thing for me, remembering collecting all the trading cards/signature celebrations, as well as the wicked all-Canadian soundtrack.
Plus, Super Mario was on the cover.. how are you gonna beat that? lol =p
Im a huge hockey fan. Im not a huge hockey video game fan though so I probably won't be buying NHL 10. I am all for just talking about hockey though. Can't wait for the new season to start.
I'm still sulking. Why can't the Sharks ever make it to the Finals... Ugh. Anyways, just waiting for the new season to start.
I mean i don't care if the NHL wants to keep phoenix. But can they at least allow some sort of Canadian expansion.
Go Flyers.
..awaiting some crude comment....
Can't wait for the game to release! Mines payed for!
woot
Loved/love NHL09.
I bought it late and never got in to the online league stuff, by the time I did, I felt like I was totally out of the loop on good teams/leagues. I should have a copy in hand tomorrow, so if there's any serious interest in a GB team (360) I'd be down for sure.
Oh, and Go Wings!
love me some richards and carter...
Looks like I found a Hockey topic, had to represent my Sabres. Although they'll probably suck this year, damn them.
