NHL 10

Couldn't get this game in the stores and I wasn't too sure about the region protection. But... the game works perfect and it shipped out to me a lot earlier than expected. This game rocks... I can't believe they stopped selling NHL09 and NHL10 here...

awesome game, hard to score goals which keeps the game interesting the whole time, very realistic. highly recommend.

It improves on NHL 09 with the addition of trophies and board play. The controls are fluid and responsive, offering full "stick control" via the right toggle stick. It also offers 2 button style for people who are put off by the realism and want an easier game to pick up and play. Some of the glitchy goals that plagued the 09 game have been corrected, though seasoned vets will still score with relative ease. One draw back is that the same unrealistic GM decisions remain on its be a pro season. My player was sent to the minors after his 5 game NHL tryout, though he was the NHL's leading scorer after five games.
Overall, if you are a fan of the NHL and hockey games in general, you should be playing this game.

This 2010 edition is just so realistic. Controls, gameplay have been improved.
Gameplay is a bit slower than before, but technics and graphism are much better, giving you more time to build your strategy and game.

Just better than ever.
