Product Description
A new first-person fighting engine enables players to trade punches with an NHL tough guy. Feel what it’s like to be on the ice in the skates of an NHL player to throw and dodge punches. Grab and tug an opponent’s jersey to land a punch that ignites the fans and sparks your team to victory. On ice toughness and intimidation is taken to a new level in NHL 10 where winning one-on-one battles for possession of the puck by the side of the boards becomes a test of will and skill. Utilizing an all-new penetrate physics engine, players can use their body to shield the puck on the boards and then kick-pass it to teammates. Larger, stronger players pin opponents to the boards while fanatical fans bang on the glass, just like real life. Fore-check defenders, pressure the puck and end checks to intimidate your opponent into mistakes. Players fatigue, bobble passes, and avoid collisions under threat of constant physical pressure. Inspire teammates, ignite the fans and change the momentum of a game by instigating scrums, drawing penalties, and mixing it up, all after the referee blows the whistle!

My son Darius and me play this game about 6 hours a day via Xbox Live. It’s a splendid way for Darius and me to bond after his mother (my ex-wife) left me for Tom in Accounting. Its amusing how woman always are drawn to cash and reflect the grass is greener on the other side. I’m having the last laugh, because although Tom works with cash all day, he doesn’t take any of it home! Although I wasn’t laughing when I got home from work early on a Thursday before my night class and caught her getting acquainted with Tom’s slacks. I really like the penetrate play in this year’s game.
Rating: 5 / 5
First the excellent:
- The game has a lot of really cool features that you start to notice as you play.
- The players will in fact slap the puck out of mid air if able an will even use their stick to bat the puck out of the zone.
- Goaltenders feel more realistic in this game as they often struggle to control rebounds even to control the puck after the save, previous NHL sports meeting have always shown the goalie to be AWESOME or GARBAGE.
-The customizing in the game is still awesome
- The computer is still really tough to beat which gives the game a a lot of replay regard. This game makes you earn your wins.
- Hitting has once again been improved, gone are the days when Briere could lay out Chara which a bone-crunching hit, now, less powerful players can barely get off a hit, which is the way it really is.
- Backhand passing is weaker now, which also adds to the sports meeting realism, because a back-hand pass is hard to pull off.
- The GM model is AWESOME with TONS of features that really allow you to take control of your organization
- The new stylishness of fighting is pretty cool with first-person use, but it still lacks a small in the fact that you can not go your players anywhere in the rink to fight
- The penetrate play is a nice touch and you in fact use it a lot more than you would reflect.
- Those simple one timer passes are also gone, this game makes you EARN your goals.
Now the terrible:
The problems from last year’s game still exist:
- Computer AI Learning is overrated once again, if you score a goal on the one-timer, the computer AI “adjusts” which pretty much just means that your team become complete idiots at completing one timers for a small while compiled with Bill Clement saying “Nice Defensive Adjustments” which the computer AI has not anything to do with it,the passes are just missed, fluked or no matter what trick EA has up its sleeves to make and artificial AI adjustment.
- Still no Winter Classic, I thought this one OBVIOUS last year and with so few upgrades this year, you would reflect that they would add this one in.
- The computer is too exact in passing and nearly NEVER make a mistake or accidental turnover.
- The goalies are still horrible at handling the puck and passing (even megastar puck handlers like Brodeur or Turco SUCK at shooting and passing in the game)
- Your team AI is still a joke. When you crash the zone and go to the right of the net, any peewee hockey player knows to take the other post and hope for that one timer pass, or at least go to the corner/behind the net and get ready to cycle the puck, the computer players on your team are make pleased to simply stand near a defender and wait for the puck to be taken away or selected off.
- Crosby is still WAY overrated in the game, a 94 for a player who is not even the best player on his own team is pretty ridiculous, but I will let this go since he is the poster-outcome of the NHL.
- Your team is really wimping in the forecheck, if you take the front of the net and allow your teammates to take the puck carrier, they will often give him too much space and when the puck is lose, there is very small effort to get it. If you take the puck, the computer will often choose that it wants it too, making a two-on-one which opens up a computer player for an simple one-timer goal.
- Saucer passing is still a joke which is too unintuitive and weak to use.
- EA Sports still builds in loopholes which makes you use their new features, if you are up against the penetrate and a computer player is near, do not even bother trying to pass, it will not work regardless of how much you pound the right trigger, EA Sports wants you to use their new penetrate pinning feature, which is a cool feature, but if I can avoid being pinned on the boards, then i should be able to.
- The one timer freeze still exists (which you one time it to another player and he misses the puck, he is frozen stationary for a few seconds) this was an OBVIOUS glitch last year, that EA Sports has chosen to once again not fix.
- STILL NO TRAINING CAMP OR PRESEASON- Come on EA, I want the preseason sports meeting too, I want to be able to develop my team and allow my prospect players a chance to make the team
- Still no pre-game warm up. This is a small issue, but I want to be able to have a pre-game warm up to prepare for the game, it adds to the authenticity and the point here to make an authentic hockey simulation.
-STILL NO GOALIE FIGHTS! This is rare, and would only satisfy a right hockey fan to have the goalie drop it, but come on, how cool would it be to have a 6 on 6 brawl.
Other issues:
- EA Sports has really taken a step back in the skating and passing this season. The skating last year was very charming, this feels very clunky and players seem to have very small potential in their strides. Players can not turn very easily and it is nearly unenjoyable to go. The passing SUCKS, flat out, when you push the right trigger, there is a brief second of hesitation sometimes which will usually cost you. Back-handed passes are terrible in the game and are usually selected off.
- I know what EA was trying to do with the after the timer fighting and grabbing, but after a while, it just becomes irritating, especially online.
- The game alacrity is WAY to slow, this is not an issue if you play by yourself, but becomes an issue online.
By and large:
By and large, I give this game 2 stars because of how EA Sports has chosen to make the skating and passing less charming and not fix some of the largest issues from last years sports meeting. It is still better than the 2KSports series since 2008 and if they start fixing some of the issues as opposed to ignoring them, this game would be much better. As a right NHL sports meeting and hockey fan, you should definately get the game because of updated rosters and features, but expect a downgrade in gameplay from NHL09 .
Rating: 2 / 5
For those who own NHL 09, you will not be dissapointed with NHL 10. While it isn’t a huge leap like 09 was, I do find the subtle upgrades nice. The fighting for the puck on the boards is something I like, I’ve in fact found that I use it quite a bit. The first person fighting is just ok to me, it’s fun but not anything to get terribly excited about. Unlike one reviewer here, I generally only play on line, compared to release player. Either way though I don’t reflect you can go incorrect with this game. Be it release player or on line, this is one of the best sports sports meeting out there.

Small and sweet,I like nhl 10.I have nhl 09 for PS3,but can say,I have experience glitches in nhl 10(360).My Be GM mode was corrupt,had to erase and start over.All I can say is 09 by and large,with less features is better than 10.Just my judgement.Hopefully EA will make a patch or just work on the glitches for nhl 11,we hope!
Rating: 3 / 5
The few issues I had with 09 have been fixed and they added a couple of new and exciting things to the game. It is intense every minute of gameplay, just as is hockey in real life! The only thing they could work on is the Xbox Live pairing…I sometimes see several thousand people are online but I can’t find a game (I admit this is not every day, but). I rarely went a day without playing 09 and I can foresee another EA NHL-filled year! Do yourself a favor and join me!
