Yet that is always an argument as to why the series has gone downhill. 2K9 was basically VC's version of NHL07. The foundation is there, but the game was incomplete, even VC states this. So do, to Kush trashing the series, and VC wanting rebuild the game, starting with 2K9, they get only skepticism. If you ask me, much like with EA after 07, people need to just wait for 2K10 and see what VC has done for improving upon 2K9. Alot of people jumped on the EA bandwagon with NHL07 and it was just as incomplete and flawed. Just give VC the benefit of the doubt until they show otherwise, as Kush did. I mean the graphics with VC at the helm already look the best the series has looked on the 360. That should say something for them, right?

Exactly. Kush is gone, VC is at the helm, it was a 2 year development cycle for this game, rebuilt A.I., superb looking graphics, etc. Just like some of you did with EA after 3 years of crappy games, give 2k the same benefit of the doubt.

I don't know why but the colors on this game look better on my tv than does EA's. I think becasue I have it in 1080p on the 360 and for some reason I can only get EA's to run in 720p on my PS3.

Yes, that's how I look at 2k9. Just like rebuilding a real sports team, rebuilding a sports game takes time.

People forget how bad NHL07 was. The AI was laughable (remember how you could get the CPU d-men to skate themselves into the boards), and the game overall was very rough around the edges. NHL08 was better, but still lacking. It took them until 09 to get things going.

2k9 was a very solid effort, given VC's limited development time.

The whole EA vs 2k thing is kind of pointless anyway. EA's sports games are very different than they used to be. For the offline player, many of us want something different. That's where VC needs to come in with a good offline hockey sim.

you know, it gets tired real quick with this whole "hating" concept. I don't even know who you are, let alone start making assumptions of your intentions with anything. I'd assume you don't know anything about me as well, so enough with trying to tell me what i think and feel.

It's about how i've bought every 2k game since 03 only to watch the game go the gimmick route the last few years and ditch the actual fanbase. Add in how they waste resources on dumb ideas, market the game terribly if at all, and give an overall amateurish approach to the entire game.

actually, i'd say its time for you to practice what you preach. An agenda and maturity level? Come on, this is a site to discuss sports games, so that's what we're doing both good and bad.

Agenda, lol. Are you trying to say that myself or any other person's opinion is so vital to influence thousands of people on a website into either buying or not buying a game? lol, you give far too much credit. Stop pointing fingers and jumping to conclusions about nonsense. We're discussing a video game. No conspiracy theories going on here. Heck, i own more 2k games than EA games anyway.

I know you you are a ***** for 2k10. I not being serious about the ***** comment. I am joking. I don't give a rip about what people think of a video game. As long as I like it that is all that matters.

Maybe you guys don't have an agenda, but someone that praises EA's hockey all the time and then comes in here and rips this game a new one. It kinda gets old. I don't mind people ripping this game, but sometimes it is pretty obvious what they are doing. If you want to talk bad about the game and then go in to the EA's forum and see nothing wrong with that game. Then that is when I laugh. But it is cool. It would be nice to see people say what they don't like and what they do like about this game. Instead of this just becoming a bitching session. Just as you are free to debate with us we are free to debate with you.
