A new first-person fighting engine enables players to trade punches with an NHL tough guy. Feel what it’s like to be on the ice in the skates of an NHL player to throw and dodge punches. Grab and tug an opponent’s jersey to land a punch that ignites the fans and sparks your team to victory. Challenge a skill player and an opposing team tough guy will step in to settle the score.
On ice toughness and intimidation is taken to a new level in NHL 10 where winning one-on-one battles for possession of the puck along the boards becomes a test of will and skill. Utilizing an all-new board physics engine, players can use their body to shield the puck on the boards and then kick-pass it to teammates. Bigger, stronger players pin opponents to the boards while fanatical fans bang on the glass, just like real life. Fore-check defenders, pressure the puck and finish checks to intimidate your opponent into mistakes. Players fatigue, bobble passes, and avoid collisions under threat of constant physical pressure. Inspire teammates, ignite the fans and change the momentum of a game by instigating scrums, drawing penalties, and mixing it up — all after the referee blows the whistle!

AWESOME as always NHL is a MUST HAVE game on every console and this one does not disappoint at all too. It's a blast whether by yourself or with a few friends! The new modes like fighting and pinning to the boards really makes the game come alive. The only complain i have about it is that i can't play online with anyone without lagging being in asia =( But I think thats the sony server's problem than EA'S?

Best Sports Similation Ever Made Not just the best hockey game ever, this is the most fun, most realistic sports game ever created. Perfect AI, physics, controls, but EA Sports have gone far beyond that with the "Be a Pro" mode that is like a sports RPG. Starting in the minor leagues, working your way up and earning improvement points, it's so much fun. And the details and quality in the game will bow you away. One example - the way the crowds, announcers, and even crowd animations are different and more pumped up in the playoffs, your team celebrating on the ice when you win the Stanley Cup - it's really quite an amazing package. I bought it as an import from Play Asia and it is worth every penny. I've had many nights of play from this game and am far from finished yet.
Also I would like to say I was very happy with Play Asia service. Ordering was easy, they kept me informed of the status through shipping, and overall was a good experience. I will shop here again for sure.
