EA Canada has the unenviable task of developing a follow-up to NHL 09, arguably one of the best sports games ever made, and so far, it looks like they’re up to it. We’ve heard of all kinds of additions and improvements that will surely make the franchise better, such as a focus on emotion. After the jump, you’ll find the recently released second trailer for the game, in which Producer David Littman goes over the changes you can expect to see in NHL 10.
He doesn’t talk about anything that hasn’t already been revealed, such as the features on the GameStop description for the game, but it’s still good to see all the new stuff in action. I can’t wait to embarrass goalies with fake shots.
NHL 10 will be out on September 15th for the PS3 and 360 with Patrick Kane on its cover. For more video, check out the debut trailer here.

@ThePhil sorry but 09 had tons of bugs and glitches, glitch dekes, you couldnt stop the puck against the boards and many more. However, 10 looks to improve on many if not all of these and thus I will definitely be picking it up
Its just hard to want to pick this game up when me and my friend still have so much fun with '09. I don't really watch hockey, so I love it strictly as a game and not for the sport. We'll see, but I'll probably be waiting on a price drop for this one or something. They should let you pay less if you own the previous year's sports game. I'm sure that argument has been made about a trillion times by retarded Madden fans. Yeah, you.
