Vision cone haters am cry

I got to play this game alot over the weekend and that crease control thing ROCKS!

Too bad the graphics were almost exact same as xbox version cept the ice and crowds were improved.

Hmm, haven't seen or heard anything about the 360 version until now. The vision cone thign is pretty neat, but the graphics are pretty "current gen". Oh well, when it comes to sports games, there's always next year.

Next year's version could be one of the most realistic playing and looking sports games. I'm calling it now!

What the fuck is this slow-mo aiming shit? I've got 2K4 and it never had that I'm sure.

It's the feature where you get to control the goalie.

I'm sure it'll be AWESOME when games go into a shootout. Otherwise, I'm not saving 20+ shots a game like that!

 

[mr_sockochris]

Ah right, that's cool. It looks like a good idea for shootouts, yeah, but I wouldn't want it in full matches having things slow down and zoom like that every time someone took a shot.

Damnit..... I just saw the videos and am pretty disapointed.

Hockey is by far my favorite sport, but I am not sure that I want to spend 60 bucks on this when it is so similar to the current gen. I already have Madden and NBA2k6 coming as well, so this might turn into a Top Spin, Full Auto or N3 pre-order for me.

I probably can wait until next year when they really pull out a new graphics engine on top of all the game play goodness. This game just does not look next gen enough when sitting next to the rest of the xbox 360 launch.

The crease control looks really good as a gameplay mechanic. I want a new fighting engine too in this series. The one in NHL06 is so good.

I guess I just get my hockey fix from Center Ice this year.
