Coop Franchise!

IGN: NHL 2K10 Feature Blowout

"So if you're playing through a Franchise, any time you're going in to play a game from the team select screen you can choose to play against a friend. And you can either put him on the opposing side and have him be your opponent, or you can just have him jump over to your side so you can play through the game together."

Enjoy!

2K pisses me off. The franchise mode for 2K9 freezes. It died on me right in the playoffs. ****ing frustrating.

I'll try the 360 demo... but it's highly likely that I won't buy it.

This was my post at HF


IGN: NHL 2K10 Feature Blowout

and I then that same thing applies to all the other modes in the game too, so like if I'm in Franchise playing through my season and I'm playing against the Sharks, and I know one of my buddies is a Sharks fan, I can just choose to invite him right from the team select screen and have him be my opponent in my Franchise.

Now with 2K Share you can upload rosters, you can upload game sliders, you can upload created players and a new addition to it this year is you can actually upload draft classes. So if you want to upload the upcoming draft class, and you want to set it up with all these specific guys with a bunch of your friends, or if you want to go back and create some draft classes fro m the past you can do that.

Hm I thought LGK automatically scaled images down.

Since I only own a Wii, this will be my only option for an NHL game. Even then, I won't buy it unless online play is available for the Wii.

Why does Kopitar look like Matt Damon?

That's a known issue, I made it all the way through. CPU trades, injuries off and it works.

That was a one year complete rebuild, this one is the result of a longer development cycle and it looks far better.

And yes the video is from the game itself.

"A new animation feature in the game, known simply as stumble shots, will assist you on creating your own spectacular highlights. As 2K10 producer Ben Bishop told me earlier today, the idea of stumble shots came directly out of fan frustration with last year's game. "One of the things that came up last year is that some people would get frustrated when they were trying to take a shot [while] getting bumped or checked. A lot of times that would end up cancelling you out of that action, so you'd be pressing the "shoot" button and wondering why you didn't get a shot off."

Stumble shots, as a result, let your player take a shot even when he's being jostled, pushed, checked, or--like Ovechkin--put on his back. "If you're getting bumped or pushed or checked and you're in the midst of taking a shot, then your player will perform a stumble shot animation," Bishop said.

No, this doesn't mean that you'll be scoring eighty goals a season while sliding towards the boards on your rear end. And, no, it doesn't mean that your third-line defenseman is going to be putting slapshots in the twine while standing on his head. In fact, as Bishop put it, the stumble shot animations have been designed to be infrequent and available only to players with a high enough skill level. As he put it, "It's not like [stumble shots are] happening five or ten times per game. It's a little bit more of a rare type of thing. It's not something you're going to see all of the time, and it definitely depends on the skill of the player taking the shot, but it's something that adds a fun extra twist to gameplay."

Enjoy!

2k series was better back in the 2k3 2k4 days, now it just blows. I think I'll stick with EA for a while.
