I would guess that EA for the most part has shown us what they will be offering up in there NHL 10 game this year. What we don't know is what 2K will be offering yet. For that reason I would like everyone to tell 2K what is expected in there game this year. I would like to break it down into several catagories: ]Past platform experiences, what platform you plan on playing the game on and what needs to be in the game before you will purchase it, what you expect in the game, and what you hope to see in the future.

I still own NHL2K8 for the PS2. It was ok to play but stopped playing it once I got 2K9 for the wii. Yes the wii version seemed like a step backworks as far as graphics and a hardcore NHL game. But the games themselves were fun to play and with some twaeking of the sliders you could play just about any type of game you wanted.

I am seriously considering buying the wii version again but serveral items need addressed. First, the graphics and camera angles need to be improved some. Yea, I know it is the wii and there are limitations but some improvements need made. Secondly, the CPU needs to know how to handle injuries in the offline franchise mode. I had 2 seasons ruined due to having injuries cause my franchise to freeze. Since turning off injuries, I am now up to second season. There also must be a way so that I am locked into playing just 1 position as there was in the 2K8 game. The last thing that there needs to be is a seasonal fatigue meter also as in 2K8 where each player fatigues to a certian degree throughout the season dependant upon age and games played in a span. Where it woiuld be benefical to rest an older player in a 3rd game in a four night span.

I do not play online but understand that several people do and I am expecting online leagues. I also expect there to be better trade logic and also expect pre-draft scouting to come back (wii version). I am expecting the sliders to produce the same results as in 2K9. I also would like the option for a 41 game schedule.

What I expect in the future is for better presentation, such as like a once a week NHL tonight, closer to how the NFL 2K5 did the sportscenter deal. Also a weekly team schedule is implemented in helping or hurting your players such as on off days if you choose to have a mandatory skate, optional skate or a day off and injuries could occur during that time and fatigue should factor into these decisions.

Let 2K know what you are all expecting.

Expectations often lead to letdowns. I have faith that VC will improve on 2K9, no matter what platform, but I'm not one to set expectations. There are only a few people in this world who I would have expectations of and video game developers are not on that list.

I'm afraid it doesn't matter what we want or even what we expect. The process has already been completed. Now it's up to us to examine the games, read the promotional material, play the demos, test (rent?) the products and put our money down. And then I suppose we will have to listen to Roaddog tell us to wait until next year.

I have seen what EA has offered and 2k looks blown out of the water. They cant compete with this.

I suspect your comment will prove to be accurate. I hope, however, that 2K does well enough to hang around and provide SOME competition. A one horse race soon becomes a stroll.

For me, it's not so much about how many features are included. It's about how many features actually work the way they are supposed to.

Thing is...some of the new features in NHL 10 are already in 2k10's game lol if you think about it. Goalie stopping the back behind him,grabbing the puck mid air,board play,being able to score while on knees or falling(some what). Though NHL 10 will probably be better I still HOPE 2K10 will be a solid game. I'm getting both games no doubt about it, the one picture of Ovy gave me a little better insight as to how the graphics will look and they seem good but we don't know exactly for sure. There is always room for improvement and hopefully 2K will have that.

i agree with some of you guys saying that they donīt need to include the same number of features that EA includes, they must put back all the ones they took away from last year, improve graphics and some things on gameplay and make a franchise with no freeze! all that is enought for it come back being a good game!

I have one expectation:
That it will be better than 2K9

From the Ovie image, the graphics have been fixed. I love the authenticity.
