Fans of last year’s NHL 2k9 game will notice that many of the same features have returned, quick game, franchise, pond hockey, mini rink and shootout hockey. NHL 2K10 is really similar to last year’s release, the graphics, gameplay and the player’s movement on ice feels all seem to not have been upgraded or altered.

The online features are enormous, you could play full tournaments to leagues. The tournaments allow 40 teams, that are able to duke it out online to be crown champions or in hockey terms win the Stanley Cup. It seems that the main focus this time around, was to sure up the online mode, both for smoother interface and a quicker way to play a game.

Signing a free agent early in the season or negotiating contracts after the season is very enjoyable. The negotiating screen presents you with all the information you would need to figure out what the players want. The players interest in years, salary, you could also see the counter offer. There is nothing like negotiating a contract with a player who has aged and lost a step, but still wants all-star money, only to release him, via the salary cap restrictions, then watching him sit the whole season out on the Free agent market cause of his over the top salary.

NHL 2k10 is a great hockey game that is fun for both the die-hard hockey fan and those that just enjoy the thrill of checking and scoring without knowing too much about the sport.
