Wow. I've never been a video gamer, except for a few exceptions, which includes hockey games. I never buy them myself, but my brother used to and I always loved playing them. We had 2006 and 2007, EA Sports ones.
Well now I live with my cousin and he just downloaded NHL 10. Holy crap, that's realistic. Everything from skating to check someone, missing and hitting the boards, and injuring yourself that way or getting in a fight and injuring your jaw, then that player wearing a jaw brace for 'x' amount of games. It also has a mode where you can create a player in a dynasty sort of thing, and get drafted (you don't have a choice of what team you get drafted by). You only play that player and if you don't play well enough, they send you to the minors where you still have to play every game, until you get bumped up again.

My cousin and I have a season going where we play 2 player. Holy crap thats difficult. We're 3-21, haha. And it's only on 'pro' difficulty (next up from easy). It's crazy hard, for us anyway.

Anyway, anyone else have this game? Thoughts on it?

I have a couple friends who have this for 360, and they say its one of the best sports games ever. I might get it for my (future) PS3.

I decided not to upgrade to NHL 10, mostly because I'm playing on PC. I don't see the point. Almost all of the great parts of it aren't available on PC.

If I owned a PS3 or X-Box 360, I would be all over NHL 10. Instead, I bought NHL 2K10 for the Nintendo Wii and have been thoroughly enjoying it.

Man this game is just insane, 2 player is really difficult, still. My cousin and I are still playing on easy, and the our current rate, we might make playoffs, because after playing like 30 games (and losing about 25) on the next difficulty level, we have a ways to catch up before the end of the season.
