When polishing the playing area with a brush is the high point of your game, perhaps you're out of ideas.

This is why I stick to EA's NHL games. 2K really is far behind and it looks to stay that way.

rules? in hockey?

I though it was all just about beating up everybody in the opposite team, that's all I did in FaceOff for DOS in the early 90s.

 Not sure what to think of what I just watched.  
 
This game looks like absolute junk. EA's NHL series has consistently been one of the best sports game series over the past 3 or 4 years. Try giving NHL 11 a shot when it comes out (but maybe try and play it at least once before capturing the QL).

Er... as a Canadian, allow me to say "lighten up dude".  They are just poking a bit of fun and having a laugh.  It isn't malicious. 
 
Yeesh. 
 
Also, allow me to formally request of Giant Bomb that they do an NHL 11 QL once it comes out.  This video was entertaining, but I'd be interested to see what experience you guys have with a hockey game that is actually decent.

Guys you do know this is wii game. Don't get me wrong the last 2k game I bought was 2k5 and have all the EA NHL's since then. While the the current gen 2k's have not been great they all have there strong points. I cant believe people are shit talking. Also the GB crew is the best stop dumping on them.

@Scotto: I realize that, and I wasn't directing my announce at Ryan specifically. Just the way he acted in that video made me realize that I have never heard them, or any American for that matter, ever say something about another country without feeling the need to just be blatantly insulting while doing it, or adding an insult or backhanded comment to the end of it. Even if they are just doing it because they think it's funny or that it's ironic, it still gets very aggravating to constantly have to listen to them insult your people and your country all the time.
 
You can only ignore the idiots and the trolls so many times before you just want to punch one of the mouth breathers in the face and tell them to stop acting like dicks.
 
As I said, just something I noticed.

Feel free to make fun of America, dude. An eye for an eye, you know, and America is FAR easier to make fun of than most other countries. Have you seen the shit that's popular on American television or pop culture in general? Have at it. =P

This game looks absolutely horrible. You guys need to do an NHL 11 QL when it comes out. 
 
Also, I'm Canadian and I didn't really mind the quirks. It's all in good hearted fun, even though I cannot stand Ryan Davis' fat American ass.
