NHL 10 - Sony PlayStation 3

Key Features and Benefits: Battle for the cup Experience the intensity of NHL playoff hockey. Play through injuries, intimidate rivals, and match lines as storylines carry across the entire series. Battle on the boards An all-new board physics engine enables players to use their body to shield the puck on the boards and kick-pass it to teammates. Watch bigger, stronger players pin opponents to the boards, adding a new level of realism to cycling the puck and the dump and chase. Fight an NHL tough guy A new first-person fighting engine enables players to experience what it's like 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 and take one on the chin. Grab and tug an opponent's jersey to land the punch that ignites the fans and sparks your team to victory. Intimidation tactics Fore-check defenders, pressure the puck and finish checks to force your opponent into mistakes. Players fatigue, bobble passes, and avoid collisions under threat of physical pressure. Face washes a superstar to provoke the opposition, instigate a scrum and ignite the crowd. New precision passing A new 360������ precision passing mechanic delivers control over the speed and direction of passes so players can bank passes off the boards or play the puck into space for teammates to skate on to it. Players take poor passes off their skates and kick the puck to their sticks. Spectacular goals Introducing spectacular new ways to score, like players one-timing loose pucks, stick-handling and shooting from their knees, batting pucks out of the air and lifting a leg to fake a shot on goal. Interactive atmosphere Playoff atmosphere pops to life with towel-waving fans, deafening noise and crowds that react and respond to the action on the ice. Fanatical fans bang glass during board play, spring to their feet after big hits, and boo opposing stars when they handle the puck. Next-level authenticity Over 200 gameplay refinements, including new offensive and defensive AI for more intelligent positioning, and new in-game facial animations that show player emotion when delivering bone-crunching checks or celebrating game-winning goals. Post-whistle action Now, the game never stops! Antagonize opposing players, finish checks, retaliate for late shots on goal, draw penalties and pick fights-all after the referee blows the whistle!
