Good day,
I am confused about NHL 2K10 for the PC platform. I saw the cover for the PC version, but on the 2K Sports Web site of the new (16.6.09) is not included PC platform.
Please explain how it is.
I would be very disappointed if it was not the PC version
Thank you and sorry for my English..Perhaps it was not so terrible :)

Still don't know. It's likely that there'll be a PC version but there isn't an official word on it yet.

2k Sports had a chance to take away all of EA's customer base this year by releasing NHL 2k10 on the PC but instead I feel they have lost that opportunity as people will rather just play modded NHL 09 even if they end up releasing NHL 2k11 next year

It's a trend that people suspect 2K blows its only chance at gaining ground on EA at least three times a month. I don't even know why 2K's still planning to bother releasing the game since it's so obvious that the series is doomed according to the internet.

I cannot for the life of me understand why 2k is not releasing a version of NHL 2K10 for the PC.
don't they know the weakness in the PC market EA's regurgitated piece of crap NHL series is leaving?
Can we have a reason please why it is not being released for PC?
This sucks.

This year lock-out. I nevertheless support 2KSports if EA will return on PC, they will make again badly. The next year, it is necessary to do NHL2K11 with online, make protected online a mode and you will see as your hockey becomes popular.

To be honest, I think it just wouldn't be at a place dev-wise to release the game and be happy with the product we put out this year. I would imagine it'll be worked on for PC for future as the next-gen and Wii game are making large strides this year.

Thats too bad, it must be a lot harder to port games than it used to be. At one time you could almost copy and paste a Dreamcast game because of Windows CE (I know probably not THAT simple).
I think, honestly tho, they should've focused on really getting the first brand new hockey game that would have PC users going all out to get. EA Sports really fumbled their PC franchise and they know they screwed up BAD with NHL 07-09 on PC, if 2K was to put a game on the PC they would obliterate EA from even being able to get back into the PC market (in NHL)

It is sad that EA Sports will not have the nhl 10 for pc because i was going to get it for Patrick Kane my favorite player of the blackhawks. Yes I am an BLACKHAWK fan so to bad Wing. But before I found out that Kane was on the cover I was thinking of getting NHL2k10 to Replace EA Sports after getting MLB 2k9. It would be nice to get NHL For pc this year.

I agree entirely I see a resurgence in pc gaming as the 360 and PS3 becomes old technology compared to whats on the pc.

There could also be DRM issues that 2K would rather not have to deal with.
Personally, I would've loved to have seen NHL 2K10 on PC. But I also know that NBA 2K9 was being downloaded illegally the DAY it came out in stores, so I don't blame them.

That's perfect. Hey, just put out an ad saying that instead of buying an Xbox 360 or PS3, everybody in America should come to you with their $400 (we'll make it $500 to make up for some built-in peripherals) and you'll build them all PCs that put the consoles to shame.
It's so fortunate that we've found you, there'll be 50 million gaming-quality PCs across America before you know it with you on the job.

What really irritates the hell out of me is when people complain about PC's costing more than consoles.
OF COURSE THEY COST MORE. They do a hell of a lot more than any console could ever do. People treat a gaming PC as if that's the only thing it does, play games. And if that were the case, then yes. Obviously a console would be the better deal.
But when you factor in everything a PC does, not to mention how flexible they are with games in terms of modding, controls, etc, it blows my mind every time this discussion comes up. And yes, you can absolutely build a gaming quality PC in the $500 range. And it's even easier because, of course, most every person who approaches this topic already owns a PC thus most of the things you need to purchase, you already own. And then after you do the initial upgrade, you do the rest at your own discretion. Everyone treats PC gaming as = I have to be able to play every game at max resolution/max settings or it sucks. Which of course is nowhere NEAR true. Most every Xbox 360/PS3 game right now runs at 1280 x 720 resolution. Do you have any idea how easy it is to have a PC that plays at that res? It's nothing. And if you want to play at 1920 x 1200, or somewhere around there, you can do that to. And at those resolutions PC games look a hell of a lot better than console games.
The PC gaming discussions online bother me so much because it's so blatantly obvious that the majority of people who talk about it on message boards like this have so little experience with it that they have no idea what the hell they're talking about. They see $500 video cards and are under the impression that's what you HAVE to have and that's nowhere near true. I've never spent over $150 on a video card in my life and I'm always able to play the newest games at high resolutions/settings. It's not that freaking hard.
I have a gaming PC, 360, and PS3 hooked up to my TV. And I can tell you which one without a doubt is the best in my opinion. The PC. It's not even close, actually. If a game is released on all 3, I buy it on PC. Period. Don't even give it a second thought. I just get sick and tired of people talking about price when it comes to PC gaming. Educate yourself.

Sorry, but for 500$, you're gonna build a lemon. What're you gonna do? Spend 90% of it on the vid card and CPU, then get a cheap 40$ mobo and 10$ DDR2 value ram? That's the first mistake people do when building their system: they go cheap. Motherboard? What's that, I don't need nothing fancy, just gimme the cheapest. Ram? Oh, I want lots of that, but gimme what's less expensive. Don't really care about brand. What? Compatibility?? Whatever man, just as long as it works.
2 weeks later: "This piece of garbage you sold me doesn't work like I want it to!"
Now I'm not saying you CAN'T build a gaming PC for 500$ or less, but that doesn't mean you should. Chris Rock would also tell you: "Sure, I can drive with my feet if I wanted to, that don't make it a good ******* idea!!". Think about it this way, for 500$, you can build yourself a gaming rig. But what happens a year or two later when it's obsolete for the newer games. You'll need to plunk down some more cash to upgrade it. So what cost you 500$ 2 years ago, will end up costing you another 500$ down the line.
If you want to build something good, that you won't need to be upgrading every year, then might as well pony up the dough up front. For anything decent that's gonna come close or better than a home console, you're looking at a solid 800$ to 1000$ easy.
- 200$ for a GOOD motherboard
- 200$ for a GOOD CPU (quad-core)
- 200$ for a GOOD Vid Card (mid-range)
- 100$ for a GOOD PSU (nobody thinks about the power supply, but it's the number #1 cause for faulty systems)
- 100$ for some QUALITY RAM (4 Gigs at the least, and I recomend Kingston brand, just because it's the better choice for compatibility with most mobos)
- 100$ for a 1TB SATAII Hard Drive.
That leaves you with 100$ that you can use to get a decent tower (something with enough space that can get good ventilation), and some additional fans (if the tower doesn't come with any extras).
Then you've got yourself a system that you won't have to upgrade for some time and that's gonna be able to compete with today's home consoles.

Nevertheless there are people who choose PC instead of the console. Whether it is necessary to me to buy the console for the sake of one game? It is very sad, that this year is not present NHL, I hoped on NHL2K10. After NBA2K9, MLB2K9 I thought the announcement will take place.

I seriously doubt Asia's a very big gaming market. How many people in Asia can afford a $300 console and $50 game? I've looked up reports and optimistic estimates put the Russian market as standing to make 2K $80,000 US if the game is a blockbuster on the scale of something like Half-Life 2. If you can provide anything that even remotely hints at Asia as being a legitimate market compared to the US, please do so. Also, what do baseball/basketball's followings in Asia have to do with pre-orders for NHL games?

I have been reading this thread and I do not know what all the argument is about? PC gaming used to be mainstream at one point, but with the next gen consoles and HD TVs, it just makes sense that console gaming is taking over the market. All the PC fanboys can complain and whine about how a game should be on a PC. Some companies just do not see it as being feasible, so it will not get developed for it.
There is no denying the simple fact that in today's age ... console gaming is where it's at!
OH.... and who cares about what country/area has the largest gaming sector or where things are manufactured/made/developed. Does it really matter??

@islesfan12 I don't care what is the new type of gaming machines, but PC is easier than at least the PS3 to develop and it is cheaper! The tools are there and at a cheap price for a big company like Take2. Also Console Game developers use the PC to help not using the console. So if you ask me.... it is easier for it to be on pc. I personally don't care if there is online or not, just make a game as cheap as MLB 2K9 a working game (despite some bugs) that is only single player for $20 - $30 Max Price Cap.

Well, regardless if you care or not about the console market, facts are facts. Gaming is geared toward consoles moreso nowadays. As for development, the developers use dev kits (which you probably know) for the specific console and are not strictly developed on PC. I guess in the end, the companies have to look at what's feasible and where the majority of sales will be and where the biggest benefits will be. This can be a see-saw debate, so the only way to truly know is for a 2K rep to answer the concerns here!

Well obviously, the answer is that somebody at 2K doesn't think it's worth it to bring the NHL series to the PC just yet, because they're not. Whether or not it actually would make sense is another story. I honestly think that selling the game on Steam for $40 with the same online features would be a great idea, but it's hardly my call.
fine $60..... I mean don't get me wrong but there are more PC owners than console owners so go to a bigger community. Also a question was there good sales for NBA and MLB 2K9 on PC?
Yeah, but how many of the PCs out there are gaming-quality PCs? How to sports games in general sell on the PC vs shooters in the US? Worldwide (FIFA would give an excellent picture of the worldwide sales 2K may expect to see for a hockey game)? Just some comparisons that need to be considered. You can't make a blanket statement that the PC gaming community is bigger than the console gaming community because it may not apply to the game at hand. Just talking sales, I'm fairly positive PC game sales are in a pretty sad state right now. My feeling that Steam would be a great option has to do with limiting piracy and cutting out distribution costs, which would likely help the bottom line.

No, it's a fact. Just that not all PCs are gaming-quality, so console game sales do likely outpace PC game sales.

I don't have access to sales figures or statistics on PC gaming but I will tell you that some of the PC gamers I used to know had some amazing gizmos and gadgets that allowed them to do astounding things with their controllers. It may be a minor factor in 2Ks decision but I don't think there's much chance for an even playing field with PC gaming anymore. At least we're limited by the console controllers that are available to us.

You are Right. But if 2K is scared of piracy than add the same encryption as gta iv for PC. If you use a crack for a pirated game mostly you would get a drunk spinning camera. Source is my friend has a cracked copy of GTA IV and is getting all sorts of problems.

Almost every PC game comes with anti-piracy techniques. It's not a simple prospect to prevent people from stealing your game. I just looked real quick and found dozens of download links for GTA IV on the PC. Not saying any of them work, but I'd be surprised to hear that nobody's gotten it working.
And all that may be irrelevant, as the reason for not having a PC version may simply be technical or just to keep development costs down.

Through out the 90's I was totally into PC gaming but by 1999 I opted for the PS2 now PS3 console
gaming for one main reason, hackers.
Guys hacking into my PC and hacking the game to the point of utter frustration.......
no more fun just headaches.

At least I hope that there will be other company which will do hockey on PC if EA and 2KSports do not plan it.

Damn, there are so many ways to get the piracy away from your games.. cmon ,
1st Games For Windows Live
use Games For Windows Live to get the online features.
2nd Steam
Use steam download only
3rd Regular mini updates
make regular updates ( a lil ones, that replaces the exe file with a new one , and if u put the old one back in you cant get into the game.)
4th Connected only
make the game only for internet connected pcs, then the game should connect to the server and get a file check, like one of the dev team downloads the cracked version and checks file information, then ads info to file checker and the cracked game users get blocked from playing the game..
i probably could think of more things..but i think u got the idea

Hello my dear hockey fans!
Today when I once again visited this forum in order to get to know something more about NHL 2K10 on PC, I read out the saddest new in this year. Ronnie has stated that NHL 2K10 won't be released(of course, I can't assure that it's true, but certainly it didn't sound like a rumour). As we all well know easports also decided not to develop this year hockey video game on PC which of course is very pity because it means that this year we won't get anything new regarding hockey video games. It made me cry because I'm a huge fan of hockey and I always have liked it. To be honest with you, I have to say that knowing that this year there won't be neither NHL10, nor NHL2k10 I lost any willingness to buy and to play any video games(I also used to play NBA2k9 and FIFA09). For me it is a huge disappointment...I even can't express in words what I feel right know.

each year I always look forward to a real life physics hockey simulation game on PC
EA has always disappointed in that regard I never bother buying their games.
it would be a dream to have this ability someday as there is a broad linux/windows system market out there

With EA gone from the picture there is a total vacuum for a great hockey game on the PC platform. This sin't meant as a "Which is better" comment but more as an economic one. There are still lots of PC owners who haven't upgraded to the newer consoles. Also I noticed that NBA 2K9 did well enough last year on the PC that a 2K10 version is being made. The sales possibilities go beyond hockey into college sports and fottball.
I know this is wishful dreaming but I had to ask.

Sorry for bumping this old thread. I found the link from another gaming forum. I was really disappointed that 2k10 wasn't released for PC as well. But then again I like the game a lot on my 360.
But there actually IS an alternative for the PC gamers this year. This (http://z6.invisionfree.com/flyermania/index.php?showtopic=1864) mod has become extremely popular. It's like all those recreations for F1 2002, MVP 2005 baseball and GP4.
It's a great total conversion mod and you should try it.
Cheers!

WHOA - This thread has over 10,000 views ! It would be great to have 2K hockey for the PC. The modders could possibly get to work and provide 100's of sliders, and we could tweak out our own favorite hockey sim. Also, patches would be easier too, because the modders could do them !

So, was the thing about them releasing 2k10 for the PC just an unfounded rumour ? Or were there actual plans to release it ?
