Official NHL10 News/Media/Countdown Thread

Not here in Canada. Tiger woods will easily get me around $35-40 bucks because the game is still so new. SvR will get me around $27 or so. I just traded in NHL09 about 2 weeks ago and I got $27 in return. That is amazing, considering I play the ever living shit out of the game. Almost half my money back for over 700 games of NHL. Love blockbuster.

fucking canada, nhl will be like 5 bucks here

 

[RKO BLACK RKO]

My place is giving 35 bucks for NHL09 because there isnt any ANYWHERE for some reason that game has become a rare commodity around here

 

[RKO BLACK RKO]

regarding the knee's... I know developers lie and such BUT they did say once every 15-20 games but maybe the goalie didn't expect it?

 

[Ravin]

Ravin, EB has a promotion that you can trade-in any 2 games(min $8 TIV) and you can get NHL 10(or Madden or NCAA) for $19.99.

I think I am going to give EB Games a call tomorrow to see how much the 09 sports games TIV's are.

I also don't want to nitpick but that On-the-knees video scared me, the goalie did the f****n splits, why EA?

Yeah they generally have that. I basically just call around and pick the best offer. If Blockbuster gives me the game for free with my two trade in's, I'll go that way where as EB I'd have to pay.

Canada's deals rocks...they would never dream of doing that around here

Just over two months.

Looks awesome so far, only thing i'm worried about is the amount of rebounds the goalies are giving up. Looks like goalies are giving up too many rebounds and it is too easy to score off the rebound. Seems like the offensive players have a definitive advantage at gaining the puck off rebounds over the defensive player.

The next thing they need to add is some sort of tie up/shoving feature to allow players to battle for position in front of the net without just checking one another and taking a penalty.

I'm sure you'll manage to make it look harder than it is! et:

This game will be the only reason I put down NHL 09. I got wood. Is that normal?

I need this effin game now!

A couple of other things now that I've cleared the cobwebs (flying to and from Vancouver in one day is crazy)...

- They estimated that there are now 65-70 percent real faces in the game. In particular, because of the new focus on physical play, they've added a lot of tough guys and defensive defensemen this year.

- This is no surprise but a lot of the equipment has been updated. When I played as the Habs, Carey Price had his correct pads and was using a "Warrior" goalie stick.

- The 100th Anniversary Montreal Canadiens "Dream Team" returns again this edition.

- In "Be A GM" mode you have the option of GMing a "fantasy draft" team.

- When you flip a puck in the zone, or it gets deflected and flips up in the air, players will take their hand of their stick, reach up and grab the puck then drop it on the ice for them to play it.

- The "Pink and White" ladies version of the team sweaters can now be found in the crowd.

- "Puck heads" are now in the crowd as well.

- The play by play voice still calles Matt Stajan "Matt Stay-on." (And Stajan has complained about this directly to EA) and Dennis Wideman is still called "Wid-a-min."

- The benches are still too small, meaning they don't fit the entire team on the bench and are shrunk down.

- For PS3 owners, you can now customize the music in the game, meaning, if the Vancouver Canucks take to the ice to U2, you can set them to do so in the game. You can also customize goal songs per team (but not per player.)

- Speaking of PS3, watching the game run side by side on identical television sets, it looks cleaner and purer and more fluid on the PS3, but a slight margin. It just looks better on PS3.

He posted a lil bit more...


I don't even like Stajan, but that shit pisses me off every time I hear it.

That is awesome. Really makes offline worth playing. I know my bro and I like to run GM seasons against each other and we could never do it in hockey because you could always only control one team.
