The crowd doesn't seem loud enough for my liking, although I did hear some MVP chants which was nice but not enough to call it anything other than okay. I saw the the players catching the puck and putting it down and other little things but stuff like that doesn't impress since it was already in 2k's game. It's not a bad game by any means, but I feel it needs to have more personality to keep me interested. Hopefully more time with it will lead me to discover new things that will change my mind. It's hard coming from one hockey game to another so I'm sure I will have to be patient.

Presentation is so much more than some flashy intros and good looking arenas. The crowd sounds great and look great with glass bangers, properly reacting to the play going on around them etc. not sure what you're even talking about there. Not to mention Thorne and Clement's commentary and especially their delivery puts what 2k has to offer in their game to shame.

I like it. Dauer is a beast! But I get ****ing drafted by the KINGS. OUCH! I made a sweet *** goal to start off the game. And got an A+ for 0fense and D for Defense. That is about right. I am scorer, I was like A.O. out there. The thing that is very ugly is when you are in the Penalty box that view looks terrible. It looks so fake. It takes away a lot from the game. And when they take their hats off during the celebration shake. The faces and heads look weird. Presentation is lame! But the gameplay is smooth!

Disgree big time that is so weak. When I score a goal I want to see more celebration. I was not impress with that at all. 2k wins hand down in that department to me.

I'm not saying it's awful, but I think 2k9's was better and we have already seen glimpses of the 2k10's improved presentation. Your idea and my idea of presentation are two totally different things and that's cool. I'll give you the delivery for Thorne and Clement but I don't think the commentary is any better than Randy Hahn and Drew Remenda in 2k9.

Your the only one doing that, some of us are just giving our opinions and comparing it to the game we play. Allow us to do that without getting all sensitive and turning this into something it isn't. Not everyone feels the same way you do, go figure.

You starter it, but I agree. I will just say I disagree. I like everything else about the game. I will have fun playing be a pro mode.
