    I will attempt to review the game without referencing other reviewers. I have played about 5 30 minute games since picking the game up on 15-SEP-09. Gameplay: 8.5 Graphics: 9 The players look very good and move just as well AI (with default sliders): 8.5 They play as real hockey players do, positioning themselves where they should and even covering for an out of position teammate.

Gameplay: 8.5 Graphics: 9 The players look very good and move just as well AI (with default sliders): 8.5 They play as real hockey players do, positioning themselves where they should and even covering for an out of position teammate. Controls: 8 ( allowing for the fact that they are configurable) The only issue I can state i have is occasionally a slapshot will not go off as soon as I wish. Although from what I can tell this may be due to different player rankings. A number of reviewers complain about the style of controls. This is a very subjective aspect of any game. But I will go into what I like about the controls. First and foremost I enjoy the fact that I can use a style of control that suits my style of play and my youngest daughter can do the same. I use Pro controls and the right stick. My daughter uses the lowest settings and buttons to shoot. I love the stick control both with and without the puck. With the above noted delay that occurs occasional when taking a slapshot. I LOVE the fact that the speedburst remains, regardless of what anyone would like to think, hockey players do occasionally change up speeds. The fact that I can also decide when to turn around and skate backwards is also a plus. Too many times when being turned around in other games, I did not want to turn at that point. So overall I have thoroughly enjoyed the game so far. No game stopping bugs like in NHL 2k9 and I hope none surface. Will be giving online a try this weekend and hope it lives up to the hype.… Expand

    I have 2k8 for ps2 despite the glitches and few bugs i love it. The passing in the 2k series is electric. Checking opponents into the middle of next week is fun too. I love this series.

    While it does bring some good things to the table, NHL 2K10 unfortunately stumbles on the most important aspects of a good hockey game. Sluggish game speed, unreliable controls, and bland game modes leave the game several steps behind its competition.

    All the usual trimmings are there. [Nov 2009, p.85]

    With its various bugs, issues with physics and AI, and lackluster visuals, it would be hard to recommend the game as a bargain title, much less a full priced game.
