Submit your NHL2k 10 questions here

[stoney0ne]

The powers that be at 2k have been kind enough to grant us an interview. We will be able to submit a bunch of questions that will be handed off to someone on the development team to be answered. When i get the response back it will be broken into segments and released in this forum.

I have my own questions, but I want to know what your questions are also. I will combine the best of all of the questions and turn it in two 2k.


So here is our chance. Please take this thread serious. This is not a place for smart arse comments or back handed jabs. Any of those types of comments in this thread will be moved. Lets stay on task here and see if we cant come up with a bunch of good question. 2K will probably decline comment on a few topics... You know how game company's like their secrets.


so lets throw some questions out there and see what we can find out. Id like to not let this thread linger to long. Lets get this organized and turned in. Ill get it started with some of my questions as an example. Im not looking for complicated questions intended with double meanings. Just simple and to the point questions. Just the facts


1. will nhl 2k10 have live rosters?

2. will 2k10 have lobby's?

3. will you be able to decline a fight in 2k10?

4. will the one legged, one arm, no headed skater be returning to haunt NHL2k 10?

5. For 2k 10 did you seek inspiration for the game from anything new, or is it just the evolution of 2k9

6. Is that really the sound of sneakers some people think they hear when playing nhl 2k9?

7. Will there be any new controller set up changes in 2k10?

8. Will the All Star game make a return in 2k10?

9. With the Olympics coming up soon, will we see a added emphasis on international play in 2k10

10. The Online League website is awesome. But the trade functions don't work. Any chance that will be working in 2k10?

11. Any changes to reelmaker?

12. Any Graphical improvements?

[Pavel]

Will NHL2K10 on PC?

[RoadDoggFL]

To continue my previous list:

3. More on controller customization, will we be able to map any function to any input? I want to be able to re-create either NHL 2K8's controls or NHL 09/10's. Give users freedom, don't know why PC games almost always let you but "schemes" are the best we get on consoles.

[NYIJK10]

[RoadDoggFL]

4. Any plans to have octopi on the ice after Red Wings wins (goals?) in the playoffs? How about rats on the ice after Panthers wins at home? Also, rats on the ice after home wins and goals scored by the '96 Panthers?

[flamesfan597]

Will the graphics improve?

[SupaStar911]

-create alternate jerseys
-induct players into Hockey Hall of Fame (maybe the game could do it...)

-Have teams make trades based on their position (ie: poor teams trade stars for picks, contenders trade picks for stars)
-No-trade clauses
-Opportunity Knocks need to be better (examples: player demands trade, also players who aren't happy with their role should DO something about it (refuse to play/play poorly)

[sharks14]

Where are our answers?

[RoadDoggFL]

Where are our answers?

Be patient, man. I know you're new here, but you shouldn't expect things so quickly. Just gonna make yourself out to be annoying if you do.

[SupaStar911]

we might not get answers till a month from now.

[therockgamer]

1. Will the Wii version get better graphics?
2. What kind of emphasis will be put on physical play in response to what EA is doing?
3. Playable AHL teams and possibly below? (ECHL, juniors)

[stoney0ne]

your a little late, but i think i can answer yours


1. no its a wii :D seroiusly though i would imagine they cleaned the wii graphics up a little

2. its to late in the game to program something to counter ea, plus it sounds like ea's game is going to be a boxing match not a hockey game

3. i think ea owns the exclusive rights to the AHL... i think i heard that somewhere




i did inquire about the status of our questions today

[sharks14]

So are the answers coming soon? Or are the developers hiding because they know they have not outdone EA?

[RoadDoggFL]

A mere one post above yours provides this:

i did inquire about the status of our questions today

Seriously, how hard is it to just be patient?

[stoney0ne]

dont know yet


i personally dont care how fancy the EA packaging is, but I'm hoping they are able to make a splash this year to start earning back some of that oh so important internet credibility

[sharks14]

I really hope 2K can compete with EA this year. I want NHL 2K10 to be a great simulation game. 2K was lightyears ahead of EA with NHL 2K5, but then they lost it on next-gen consoles. I hope they got it back this year.

[Avizzv92]

I pretty much gave up hope for NHL 10 for wii :/ I didn't buy NHL 2k9 but I'm most likely going to get NHL 2k10 wii unless it's completely trash. Though at this point I would settle for anything...

With NHL 2k10 wii
1. Will their be online mode?
2. Will the physics/animation be improved? I noticed in alot of videos players seem to pass through each other and sticks go rate through the cross bars...
3. Will it support roster updates?
4. Will it support the new wii motion+

I realize I'll never get amazing graphics on the wii but I mean EA sports did a great job on Tiger Woods 09 for wii graphics wise and TW10 will be amazing with motion+

[sharks14]

A mere one post above yours provides this:



Seriously, how hard is it to just be patient?

It's hard to be patient when 2K has not released a hockey game since 2005.

[RoadDoggFL]

It's hard to be patient when 2K has not released a hockey game since 2005.

If you mean 2K5, that would be 2004. But anyway, quality aside, NHL 2K6, NHL 2K7, NHL 2K8 and NHL 2K9 were all hockey games. You may disagree about whether or not they're good hockey games, but they're still hockey games.

And I know it's hard to be patient, but getting mad on the forums (likely towards stoney0ne) isn't going to get the answers back to you any sooner. You can also inquire about the answers without taking shots at the developers. It's just not necessary.

[sharks14]

I am not getting mad at anyone. I appreciate the work that is being done. I am just disappointed. I am not here to start up anything. What makes you think I'm mad?

[stoney0ne]

thanks roaddogg



you dont have to worry about me cracking from the pending blind hate and trolling jabs that will be coming as sure as the sun rises when the game releases. Im built for it


after years of mindless abuse from my wife im pretty numb to the stuff :rotfl:


listen i want the responses as bad as anyone... the mod cup tournament doesn't seem like its going to get off the ground... I want this to work out... trust me Ive made some inquiries

[RoadDoggFL]

I am not getting mad at anyone. I appreciate the work that is being done. I am just disappointed. I am not here to start up anything. What makes you think I'm mad?

So are the answers coming soon? Or are the developers hiding because they know they have not outdone EA?
Pot shots like that show aggression and are uncalled for. We're all in the same boat here.

[SupaStar911]

its being kept hush hush because 2k does not have a good marketing strategy but i'm expecting big things from 2k.

[RoadDoggFL]

its being kept hush hush because 2k does not have a good marketing strategy but i'm expecting big things from 2k.

Bingo. Of course, EA is bringing it, but we can no doubt expect a much more competitive entry from 2K10 than 2K9 was. That's pretty much guaranteed. VC knows they're facing incredible odds, no way they mail this one in.

[SupaStar911]

VC won't dare mail this one in because if they do, they'll be looking for game to produce faster than you can say "ea sucks".

[Bruins fan 4 life]

Bingo. Of course, EA is bringing it, but we can no doubt expect a much more competitive entry from 2K10 than 2K9 was. That's pretty much guaranteed. VC knows they're facing incredible odds, no way they mail this one in.

There is no doubt 2k's next installment is going to be better. The brilliant marketing scheme of "low expectations" will undoubtedly help to ensure that outcome. By that I mean, with such a lackluster effort with the current version anything released in the future, by comparison, has to be better.

I realize that the above statement sounds pejorative in nature but it is not meant that way. I am a HUGE fan of, and consumer of, 2k and am anxiously awaiting 2k10. I completely agree with RoadDogg, no way 2k10 will be a disappointment.

[SupaStar911]

Hey, when do you guys think we will get the first screenshot of NHL 2k10

[RoadDoggFL]

Hey, when do you guys think we will get the first screenshot of NHL 2k10

Maybe a bit before E3. Can't remember when it happened last year, but it was with very little fanfare.

I hope 2K has something in mind that would make a bigger splash than just posting them on a facebook account.

[therockgamer]

your a little late, but i think i can answer yours


1. no its a wii :D seroiusly though i would imagine they cleaned the wii graphics up a little

2. its to late in the game to program something to counter ea, plus it sounds like ea's game is going to be a boxing match not a hockey game

3. i think ea owns the exclusive rights to the AHL... i think i heard that somewhere

Ok thanks for answering my questions :D.

[macpuck]

I think the concern that EA appears to be emphasizing fighting and force more than hockey skating and shooting skills may have substance and, if so, perhaps 2K has a chance for success by merely polishing and amplifying its product. More scrums along the boards and more cycling sound like possible EA improvements but it would be very easy to over-do those aspects to the point where speed and stick skills become secondary factors. In any case, it sounds as though hockey gamers will have two distinctly different games to choose from in 2010.

[stoney0ne]

it will be very interesting to see how the board play is done...


if its done wrong, it could be a game killer


I'm picturing every time the puck gets by the boards an animation kicks in and forces a scrum...

[macpuck]

That's a pretty good guess on how it will work ... or not work. A secondary concern of mine is how the rating structure will determine the way players function along the boards, Both the EA and 2K games suffer from ratings systems in which too many slow skaters are fast (etc. etc.) and coming up with some kind of "digging out/controlling the puck along the boards" rating for 400 players creates that many more opportunities to get it wrong. There are players who are good at shielding opponents away from the puck along the boards ... there are players who are good at kicking the puck free and retrieving it ... there are players who can knock an opponent away from the puck along the boars and there are opponents who can not only work the puck free but create enough space to make a pass ... and then there are those rare players who can do all of those things and make a good pass! Creating a rating system that takes at least some of these different elements into consideration will not be an easy task.

[Bruins fan 4 life]

it will be very interesting to see how the board play is done...


if its done wrong, it could be a game killer


I'm picturing every time the puck gets by the boards an animation kicks in and forces a scrum...

Exactly. I can envision scrums being implemented much like 2k's new fighting engine: great in theory and even execution, but occuring way too often.

If you don't adjust the fighting slider accordingly you can have up to 5 or 6 fights in normal timed game. Ah, but there is the rub, sliders. In 2k one has the ability adjust the slider, in EA, not so much. If you don't have the ability to control the frequency of scrums along the boards it will definitely be a killer.

[SupaStar911]

hey stoney0ne, any news yet?

[stoney0ne]

nothing


the powers that be are heavily involved with the launching of the BIGS 2 right now... I suspect that is taking attention away from all the 2k10 games right now (in a PR sense, not a game development sense)


so my hunch is, after they get all the BIGS 2 stuff squared away, we will see them move onto preparations for 2K games (us and NBA)

[SupaStar911]

so, we might get info in a week or so?

[stoney0ne]

ohhh no


I'm not stupid enough to try to put a time frame on it (something out of my control), so it can be thrown back in my face latter when it doesnt happen


they will be awensered... How soon i dont know

[flamesfan597]

nhl 10 has some info released so 2k should too.

[swisscosmo]

I don't know if you have submitted the questions or not or if my question is on the list but my question is. Will 2K sports be making NHL 2K10 for the PC because EA has stopped making it?

If 2K does make it for the PC it would be great because they are taking everyone on the PC side of EA's NHL.

[stoney0ne]

pc question is on the list that was turned in

[swisscosmo]

pc question is on the list that was turned in
Yay thx now i can't wait for the answers

[sharks14]

By the time the answers come all of the information on the game will have been released.

[RoadDoggFL]

By the time the answers come all of the information on the game will have been released.

I know. This is the worst thing that's ever happened to anyone ever in the history of everything.

[stoney0ne]

I was informed today that we can expect some awnsers in a few weeks. Some time in June basicly.


2K has some big plans for the 2k10 games. Look for them to start a couple different campains in a couple different places. Aparently our questions hit them square in the eyes, and we where a little more direct and on target than expected. So they are going to include our questions in with their pr stuff



They will be awnsered, but if they did it now it would spoil some of the secrecy that game developers love






So like I said before. Look for them to get the Bigs launched, then **** the 2k 10 games like never before

[sharks14]

Thanks. At least now I know that the question will not be answered for a few weeks.

[stoney0ne]

the way im taking it... Our questions where right on target. They directly addressed many of the concerns around the franchise.


so instead of hand picking and half awnsering some of the questions... they are going to use them as a guide to help in the PR effort that will be started over the summer. They are working on their blue print for a marketing strategy.. If they released answers to us now it would take some of "luster" off of what they are wanting to do as the launch gets closer.


its a good thing guys... I cant/wont disclose what I was told exactly... But we should have an interesting June once the ball starts rolling.


if i could offer an analogy.... 2k is digging in and preparing for an assault

[sharks14]

This sounds like great news! Hopefully June is a busy month for 2K's marketing guys.

[stoney0ne]

it sounds like it


im just a faceless username pestering the PR guys.. But they seem genuinely interested in my input on various games and topics...


Im trying to earn their trust, and they are earning mine..

[sharks14]

Hopefully NHL 2K10 and NBA 2K10 are worth the build up.

[SupaStar911]

So you say, 2k's D-Day is in June? this should be good. this way, by releasing information later than EA, they can grab consumer attention right before the release. EA started to early and the hype will die before the game is released.

[stoney0ne]

tentatively..


nothing is set is stone.. my understanding is they are just making plans right now


hockey isn't even over yet.... I guess we are getting on them a bit early..

[SupaStar911]

good point, it will be over in like 2 weeks or so.

[macpuck]

Hockey is never over.

I think it is a significant plus that stoneyOne has made contact and received at least some feedback from the developers of NHL2k10. 2Ks acknowledgement of the questions list suggests that they are at least willing to investigate the usefullness of paying attention to the people who buy their product. I believe this is a very encouraging sign and I think we should make every effort to support StoneyOne's attempts to communicate with 2K. In order to make the most of this breakthrough, I believe we should try to at least temporarily put aside our disappointments and complaints about past products and policies in order to help StoneyOne to create a more cooperative channel for communication. Could it be that "next year" may finally be arriving for hockey gamers?

[Flexxer27]

Hear Hear !

With all the Macpuck bells and whistles :-)

[Hank19]

Thanks for doing this StoneyOne.

I'm a big fan of NHL2K9. I know it has it's flaws and shortcomings, but I like what's under the engine. 2K10 has great potential and I'm looking forward to any information that is released.

Thanks!

[sharks14]

What did they expect us to ask?

[stoney0ne]

more general questions i guess.


i dont really know.


I hope they are loading their guns right now, and with a little direct input, will be able to come out firing bullets and directly address what exactly people want to know with a direct campaign to counter the current trends.. Its going to have to be a hell of a campaign, and the game has to back it up



[/fingers crossed]

[sharks14]

That is why they should release info as they are making the game. This way we could provide feedback before it is too late.

[RoadDoggFL]

Yeah, and it won't be too late for EA to include any big developments 2K's working on for 2K10 into NHL 10, either...

[sharks14]

What's the difference? EA released info early, so 2K steal their ideas.

[RoadDoggFL]

What's the difference? EA released info early, so 2K steal their ideas.

Maybe they are, but there's a reason they haven't released more info and it most certainly outweighs "but I want information now."

[tennis_shawn]

yo can you play nhl 2k9 online for the ps2?
i wanna buy it but i cant find out if its still online or not

[/fingers crossed]

I hope you are right. I am going to be expecting an explosion of information on NHL 2K10 and NBA 2K10 in June.

[Mr. T]

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Is 2K10 ready for Mr.T?

[Bruins fan 4 life]

I have feeling 2k is playing the release of any info pretty close to the vest so as not to encourage any unrealistic expectations fans may harbor. Under promise and over deliver may be their thinking on this one. Any prerelease info needs to be spot on to what will actually be in the game. Any glitches related to a highly anticipated new aspect of the game will certainly enflame an already weary fan base. Please 2k, whatever info you choose to release make sure you can deliver on it. It sounds like you have a competent and reliable team working on it and I look forward to a stellar 2k10.

[NYIJK10]

Was there any mention of 2K10 at E3 today?

[stoney0ne]

Not that I've read about yet. I wouldn't expect it on the first day. If they do show anything 2k10 it would be a suprise. I have not seen nba or nhl mentioned as something that's being show

[RoadDoggFL]

Take-Two doesn't have a press conference schedule from what I could see...

[stoney0ne]

i dont see one either... ive seen a list of about 4 games they are showing... the only sports game being the bigs 2....


this was in the usa today a few days ago

Wild card:
2K Sports might be due for an overhaul of its NHL and NBA games. NHL 2K9 struggled to keep up with the superb NHL 09 from Electronic Arts. Their NBA franchise is still solid, although tweaks such as simplified controls could give it the boost it needs to stay ahead of NBA Live.



im so sick of this... simplified controls my ***..

[shonuff32612]

NHL 2k8 advanced controls are still my favorite to date.

[stoney0ne]

where is the outrage for simplified world of war craft controls?


stick it game reviewers.... if you want simplified controls play that 3 on 3 arcade hockey game

[BigH2k]

where is the outrage for simplified world of war craft controls?


stick it game reviewers.... if you want simplified controls play that 3 on 3 arcade hockey game


I agree. But make the simplified controls the default and give us 2k8 controls as an option.

[NEATON0571]

Will NHL2K10 be released for PC?

EA has decided to not re-box NHL 2004 again and sell it as NHL 2010 for PC? There are a lot of people out there that play hockey on PC and we will have no "new" game next year. EA's declining sales in this market segment is due to their lack of investment in any type of improvements since '04 -in fact, the games have gotten worse. there were more features in NHL '03 than in 09. They try to blame a shrinking PC game market, but if they actually made a good game, they would have the sales. You cant expect to re-release the same game for 5 years in a row and the market not shrink, can you?

Could possibly be worth taking a look at????????

thanks,

[stoney0ne]

no one knows for sure yet...

there was a rumor in this thread somewhere that it will not be




i know some people love it... but you couldnt pay me to play pc games.... well maybe you could...

[Stone Cold12]

NBA2K10 will be on PC! I think NHL2K10 too will be. All is closer and closer the announcement, I hope.

[Bruins fan 4 life]

A pc version would be nice for those of us craving a portable hockey game. I suppose it is too much to hope for that if they do offer a pc version that they offer an OSX version as well. If not, I'll have to finally break down and load that vile Windows operating system onto my mac. But if that is what it takes to have a decent hockey game while on the road then so be it.

[Savvy91]

will this just be on the ps3 like we've heard? and im wiiiicked excited about 2k10. hopefully they deliver.
and, heres a heads up. i'm on the ps3 guys!

[DemonsEye71]

Just wondering why did you change to PS3.

[Savvy91]

No, I found someone who doubted it. I still have no idea how you ever could.

[Hank19]

How will the new stickhandling dynamic be?
Will the puck be loose?
Will we be able to have 360 degree dekes? Will there be more emphasis on analog controls?

Thanks!

[idangleyoutohard]

WILL THERE PLEASE PLEASE be online play with nhl2k10 wii. make a team with friends join a league stuff like that

[flamesfan597]

When will screenshots be released. I heard there will be signature moves in 2k10. Sounds sweet.

[JubeiDOK_Xbox360]

I'm dissapointed in you guys. I read through this entire thread and I can't believe there isn't a single one of you hardcore fans that is concerned with wether or not the hitting is fixed. I can't believe you could all turn a blind eye to how the hitting is currently functioning just because it's a bug that helps you win games. That's of poor character man! You guys are not dumb, you damn well know that the way hitting works is a bug. I would love to know if hitting has been fixed? Has the zip factor been removed? Hitting should not be an accelerator, it should be a decelerator. Hitting with no man in front of you to hit should do nothing. The game should not help players line up their hit. The hit should be based off the players current speed and direction, timing should be a factor and a skill to be mastered. I will not buy 2K10 if the hitting is as rediculous as it was in 2K9, I would really love an answer to this question. Has the hitting been fixed?

[stoney0ne]

no one asked about the franchise freeze either to the best of my memory.... i chalked it up to everyone is just used to it



UPDATE


i did ask ron about these.... i was informed we can expect these questions to be awnsered when they release the next batch of information in a few weeks

[wcapitals52]

A few weeks? Previews have already started coming out. New information should come sooner than that.

[stoney0ne]

dont shoot the messanger...



but, yeah.. sure previews are coming, but none of them really say anything but the PR stuff.... these questions where nuts and bolt

[wcapitals52]

I was hoping for information sooner. Oh well.

[FSOTG]

Ok, I don't have 10 questions, but here are some, maybe I'll come up with more later.

Will 2k10 have the french text translation again?

If yes, will it be done well this time?

Why some jerseys are tucked in in the replays and cutscenes but all jerseys are out when you play the game?

Will the options (like camera, presentation...) stay saved or will we need to set them up each time again?

Will the menu be clearer this time? It's just really hard to figure where to go sometimes (the bad, really bad, horrible french translation doesn't help with that).

[mayers91112]

The custom Music it is fixe four nhl 2k10 ?????

NHL 2k9 , no music ( stop the game ) , music plays only with the offside ( is POOR ) .
NHL 2k9 is poor with this bug .

[abax44]

I used to be such a 2K hockey nut. Now I can't get past their wait and see approach. I didn't want to buy an EA game 2 years in a row, but I fear that's how it'll pan out. I have no faith in them what-so-ever.

[macpuck]

2K has done nothing to earn our faith. What's worse is that I don't see anything to suggest that they even understand what a selling job they have in front of them ... even if they improve the million or so shortcomings of the game.

[RoadDoggFL]

2K has done nothing to earn our faith. What's worse is that I don't see anything to suggest that they even understand what a selling job they have in front of them ... even if they improve the million or so shortcomings of the game.

Marketing isn't intended to get you to buy the game. It's intended to get the people who don't go online to the publisher's official forums to buy the game.

The devs have said it's a sim game that they're very proud of. They're not asking for faith, they're doing their jobs and hoping you can appreciate the final product.

[Pharseer12]

Will we be able to go online this year and manually put lines on the ice?
In 2K9 we have to go with the AI's choice for our team on line changes while online. The intimidation factor causes us to lose games we might have won because we have our speedy guys against their tough guys.

Will the new online franchise mode include COOP?
So if my friend is playing one team and I have another, can we play on one of those teams together on those nights when both our teams are not playing each other?

Will we be able to use our own or customized rosters in online franchise mode?
So that if we get, for example the rookie roster update can we use that update to start our franchise?

Is it almost impossible to get a timeout in 2K10 still?
In 2K9 it was almost impossible to use a timeout, during stoppages, when we had possession of the puck? Hoping it's easier this year.

In 2K10 can we go right back to the menu to replay/start a new game after a game is finished?
In 2K9 we would have to quit out, and then go back and setup everything all over again. It would be HUGE if the game retained your settings from the last game, simply a saved preferences file and got you right back out onto the ice. It takes about 5 minutes of setup each game in 2K9 every game online to get set for the next match.

Will we have a skill stick closer to 2K8, new controls or what kind of options will we have to change those settings?

Has the issue been fixed where you would ghost through players if you try to check them right off the faceoff?

Thanks for your time, looking forward to a GREAT 2K10!

[flamesfan597]

Will the goalies be harder to score on?
Will there be more CPU shots?

[FSOTG]

Will the cpu team still take out the goalie even if they are losing by 4, 5, 6, 7... goals?

Will the goalie still run back to his net as soon as the cpu team loses the puck?

More to come...

[sharks14]

It's already getting pretty close to release. Should be hearing something soon.

[Bruinzzzz]

I wonder if they will have A BAP like EA. If so lets hope it's more in depth

[rwfan]

This was a huge downer for me personally to omit this from last years game. I have no idea why it would be taken out at all to begin with? I realize most use the 3/4 cam online but why have the need to eliminate it altogether? The game, no question, should have a "create a cam" for total adjustment to fit each person's preference IMO.

Secondly, I think if 2k7/2k8 where just cleaned up, and made bug free with new animations and camera additions, it would be great.

Lastly, fix the manual goalie auto post movement when no buttons/commands are being used.... If I don't press ANY buttons, the goalie, or any other player for that matter shouldn't move AT ALL.

thanks, and good luck with following up last years disaster !!!

[SUPERSTAR]

Will it be funner than NHL 09?

Will losers online still get rewarded?

[Savoie06]

Will it be funner than NHL 09?

Will losers online still get rewarded? "Fun" is a matter of opinion. Just because something is fun to one person, doesn't mean it will be or is fun for the next. Yes the losers will always be rewarded.

[sharks14]

Does NHL 2K10 even exist? We should have already gotten news by now if 2K were smart.

[Savoie06]

I rest my case
http://2ksports.com/news/nba2k10/327

http://2ksports.com/news/nhl2k10

NBA is released a full month later.

Totally ridiculous. NHL is invisible to them.

[macpuck]

It almost seems as though they don't actually believe -- or understand -- that they have a LOT of catching up to do.

[RoadDoggFL]

It almost seems as though they don't actually believe -- or understand -- that they have a LOT of catching up to do.

Or maybe they've allocated a larger portion of NHL 2K10's budget to development instead of marketing because they know exactly how much catching up they have to do.

People here are so ridiculous.

[NYIJK10]

When are we gonna get our answers???

When are we gonna get our answers???

Not knowing nothing from nothing, but hopefully with the release of Bigs 2 tomorrow, maybe, just maybe, answers to the submitted questions will be on their way relatively soon (by mid August?).

If not, oh well, all questions will be answered on September 15.

i think there is a lot to that... 2k's credibility, its uh... it is what it is


them coming out like a used car saleman and promising the world.... what kind of reaction would that get?


they are darned if they do danged if they dont till they put out a "clean" game with no major flaws

[Bruins fan 4 life]

them coming out like a used car saleman and promising the world.... what kind of reaction would that get?

Bingo.

Under promise and over deliver.

[macpuck]

promising, promoting, informing and delivering are all very different concepts ... how many of them has 2K done well thus far?

[SupaStar911]

i'm gonna go ahead and say none. This game better be dang good. I should feel like i ripped 2k off after purchasing the game for only 50 bucks.

[LetsGoMets12]

Will the graphics be improved? I loved NHL 2K9, but the graphics are easily the worst of any other game out there.

In MLB 2K9, they decided to give most teams "fantasy" uniforms (not uniforms actually worn by the players on the field). Will that be happening in NHL 2K10 as well?

[jamesrph12@hotmail.com]

How deep will the franchise mode be??

[jojo23]

will we be able to shoot the puck in midair

what troll ;)



good point sharks... ill shake the tree

[sharks14]

Keep us updated! Looking forward to these answers.

[stoney0ne]

I'm aim'ing with ron now



ive challenged him to a wrestling match over them :thumbsup:





the content in the questions will be answered as the rest of the info is released leading up to launch... we may not be directly responded to (as in a devs not going to post here and go through question for question) but the information we expressed interest in knowing is being considered in crafting the pr stuff. they are considering our submitted desires when releasing info

[sharks14]

I can hardly believe that there is still more information to release after what was released today. I thought that was the entire game already.

[stoney0ne]

well remember


the info released to this point has been very broad



our questions where very specific. we will see more specifics as launch draws near.. thats been the expressed plan all along

[sharks14]

Launch is already pretty close. They should just release all of their information now!!! :)

[Bruins fan 4 life]

The powers that be at 2k have been kind enough to grant us an interview. We will be able to submit a bunch of questions that will be handed off to someone on the development team to be answered. When i get the response back it will be broken into segments and released in this forum.

It sounds to me as though they're playing politics with us in regards to the submitted questions. When they offered the olive branch to allow fans to submit questions they led us to believe they would be answered here in this forum. They never said when they would be answered, and thats fine, (I'd be happy if they released the answers a week, heck, even a day before release), but now to say you'll get your answers if you sift through the information that we're releasing through other avenues seems a bit weak to me.

I know it's not the end of the world but still...

[JesusisLord]

One big question:

Will playoff-beards and Zamboni's make their return in NHL 2k10

I really hope they do because they were good additions.

[Avizzv92]

One big question:

Will playoff-beards and Zamboni's make their return in NHL 2k10

I really hope they do because they were good additions.

Never bought NHL 2k9 wii, but the Zamboni addition looked really fun for a between period entertainment. I hope they left it in with all the changes they are making.

[sharks14]

We should be getting a steady flow of information every week. They haven't even released a trailer yet. We should also be hearing about a demo soon.

[KingAlfie]

One big question:

Will playoff-beards and Zamboni's make their return in NHL 2k10

I really hope they do because they were good additions.

I loved the playoff beards.. but the zamboni to me was little goofy. One thing they should improve is the stanley cup celebration because I loved handling the cup but a cutscene of the players jumping on they're goalie and the commisioner handing them the cup would be nice along with presenting the conn smythe which I don't know why they took it out. Oh and a handshake after each series would be cool!

[flamesfan597]

Why would they take it out. Its something EA doesnt have. I love Ovie's authenticity. Very nice.

Totally agree with everything you stated. Playoff beards add to the authenticity of the game, and playoff atmosphere has always been one of 2k's strong suits. Don't take them out.

[KingAlfie]

Question:
Why are you keeping Randy Hahn and Drew Remendah as the commentators? Why not Mike emrick or the capitals commentator?

[Flexxer27]

I couldn't agree more. Play off beards in the play offs were SIM. How you do ice in their Zamboni game was far from SIM but fun when you're in the mood but I never figured out
how to play it on line.

[KingAlfie]

Totally agree with everything you stated. Playoff beards add to the authenticity of the game, and playoff atmosphere has always been one of 2k's strong suits. Don't take them out.

I hope when the players score a goal in overtime or a goal in the SCF they get real excited, that would look great.. especially since all 5 players will celebrate in 2k10 rather than 1 guy.

[SuperSaiyerjin]

hello everybody, ive a question:
Will there be any rankings for our created teams. Like EAs EASHL rankings

[raLe.2k1]

ok so NHL 2K is also doin 10th anniversary ?? ANY SPECIAL Bonus stuff that comes in the game>????

[RoadDoggFL]

Don't think so.

[1 Man Dynasty]

Should we expect the first roster update in December or is someone actually handling them this year?

[Savoie06]

Should we expect the first roster update in December or is someone actually handling them this year?That's why they added Roster/Draft Share this year. So us impatient gamers can do the work ourselves and probably be happier with the update :cool:

[Savoie06]

Is the Tripping fixed this year? The ease of tripping someone last year and the animations for it were awful.

[JesusisLord]

When are these gonna be answered?

[flamesfan597]

Less tripping penalties. Add a good amount. I only get tripping and interference even with sliders.

[pens09champs]

One big issue is that I play NHL2k9 and will play 2k10 with the WII remote in one hand and the nunchuk in the right hand. I have a huge problem in shootouts controling the goalie because I have to switch hands every turn. Since I'm not used to the controls the whole "controling the goalie" and shootouts loses its fun.

Will there be an option in 2k10 for right and left handed players? Also, will the Wii motion take account for left handed players for shootouts or even shooting passing motions?

that is a hell of a good question

[stoney0ne]

your question was put to Ben Bishop (a fellow lefty) this was his response


We don’t have a handedness option you can change in the game, but I played with both crease control and manual goalie control and it doesn’t seem that bad. It’s probably crease control that he was complaining about because the save gestures that you have to make pop up with the nunchuk on the left and the Wii Remote on the right. They aren’t so complicated though to where you couldn’t do it with either hand. I was playing it okay with them swapped.

[pens09champs]

Thanks for passing it along Stoney0ne.
Its almost impossible for me to try to match the gestures left handed (or switch to righty) and have fun with it. I just thought it would improve the goaltending experience for lefties that actually play left handed. This is coming from someone that played hockey and would never play 2k right handed because it would feel unnatural.

[chin78]

Will you be able to play with more than 2-people for co-op on Xbox Live against the AI or is it limited to 2-people only?

[FSOTG]

Wil I be able to finish a season in franchise mod without any corrupt saves?:rolleyes:

I've tryed 3 times, in NHL 2K9, 1 got screwed up pretty early in the first season, and the other 2 during the playoffs of my first season.

[Bruins fan 4 life]

I hope I'm too late with one more question:

Will the players on the classic teams be without helmets when appropriate?

Thanks again for submitting these questions.

[HoltSharks96]

I have two

1)Will the Highlight Reel or Post Game return?
2)Will the Zamboni Mini Game return?

[HoltSharks96]

And one more thing

3) When you play as the SJ Sharks the giant Shark Head on the cieling of the arena, Shouldn't the Shark Head Lower?
4) Mascots! Will mascots be in the game?

[macpuck]

I could be wrong but I believe the final question-answer session before the release date occured on Friday via conference call. It's possible that they will also answer the questions Stoney has collected here in their own forum. You would think, however, if that was the case, they would have mentioned it during the conference call and/or that there would be announcements of an answer-fest all over this forum. I'm sure it's a very busy time for 2K but they appear to have initiated this question-answer exercise and so you wonder????

[Bruins fan 4 life]

Yeah you're probably right mackpuck, but it still kind of annoys me that they won't answer the questions that stoney submitted from this thread. The first post in this thread, that opened in May, reads in part:

The powers that be at 2k have been kind enough to grant us an interview. We will be able to submit a bunch of questions that will be handed off to someone on the development team to be answered. When i get the response back it will be broken into segments and released in this forum.

I understand their desire to do the conference call, but to totally neglect their stated intentions and those of us that frequent and participate in these forums (the official forums) as a choice over the other forums is a little snotty.

Oh well, at least some of the questions were answered even if we had to go to other sites to find the answers.

[NYIJK10]

Yea I know, was there a point to this? The questions were never answered!

[macpuck]

It seems as though they are more worried about being high-tech than they are about working with their "real" customers. Stoney went to a lot of trouble to line up all of these questions and they appear to have ignored them and started another thread for the conference call. If that's the case, it is a bit more annoying than a simple miscommunication. On the conference call, some of the 2K folks even mentioned that they check the forum frequently and so they must know that they left a lot of questions from this thread unanswered. If they don't follow through here, they will have hurt Stoney's credability because he set up what was supposed to be an authorized question-answer opportunity. Who knows? Maybe they are still going to answer the questions we asked in this space but the timing is a bit strange since the demo is due out very soon and it will undoubtedly answer many questions. I believe they said they were going to break the answers into segments and that gives the impression that it would be a two, three or four day presentation which, again, would take us beyond the release of the demo. That would seem to be a little late for answering questions but i guess we'll take 'em whenever we can get 'em.

[Bruins fan 4 life]

Yeah this leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I guess the point of this thread was to appease us for a few months and then release the info to more "important" forums.

[Flexxer27]

I don't know.
maybe the timing was off but like said the Dev insights did answer a lot of those questions.

I don't think we're being ignored so to speak, more like we're ahead of our time........ing.

[Bruins fan 4 life]

I don't think we were ignored but more or less placated. They just obviously value other forums over this one.

You're correct about the insights though. I do applaud their efforts there.

[macpuck]

Stoney ... Can you tell us what happened here? Was there a duplication of effort or did somebody just goof?

By the way I went to a video store today (Sunday) and one of the clerks went to a website that said the NHL2k10 hockey demo is "available for PS3 and XBox360" but I sure couldn't find it in marketplace on my XBox 360. I didn't have my glasses on and so I couldn't read over the clerk's shoulder. I don't know if the website (? which one) was wrong or she misinterpreted whatever was written there.

I'm still kind of wondering why Stoney hasn't commented on the situation with the q & a that never happened here ... or at least hasn't happened yet. What happened?Since there isn't even going to be a demo (amazing!!), please tell us what is going on Stoney!!! You are commenting on other threads but you don't seem to want to deal with this one ... even though you started it!!

Ignoring the issue just makes it worse. Come on Stoney, there were 19 pages and 2,476 posts worth of questions responding to the thread. Don't you think some kind of explanation is in order?

Ive done everything in my "power" (emphasis on the quotation marks) short of driving to California and physical handing them to someone who worked on the team


Ive been given various explanations. some of the questions where awnsered in the insights.... some where probably deliberately ignored because there was no good awnser.


im as disappointed as anyone

[sharks14]

I am just curious. Did you know all along that there was not going to be a demo? The moderators get inside information sometimes so I am wondering if you already knew about this. This sucks.

Thanks for trying, Stoney. I have a feeling that you are in a very difficult position. I'm afraid I'm just about ready to give up on 2K.

Ditto from me as well stoney (except the part about giving up). Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:

i know nothing that isnt announced publicly


ive been pestering ron for a release date for 2 weeks.. im pretty sure this has blind sided him as well

Okay, the conference call is done, 2khockey.net is getting their videos and hands-on preview, and Operation Sports is getting their questions answered. Maybe now the questions stoney submitted over two months ago might get some attention.:think:

Look, I'm truly happy with the info that has been released so far and where it has been released to but, I just think it would be nice to have some exclusive info dropped here on the official web site.

This may have been answerd already, but I didn't see it.....
will there be an option to play this without the motion plus add on? or is it coming in the game like it did for Tiger Woods 10?

You can play the Wii version with the standard motion controls, motion plus or the game pad. You may want to go read this Wii Game Play Mechanics (http://community.2ksports.com/community/insights/index.cfm?aid=955721&l=10).
