EA have announced the first details of {NHL 10} in time for the semifinals of this year's Stanley Cup. The game will feature a new fighting system with a first person camera. The developers also claim over 200 gameplay refinements including the new 360 degree passing system. Expect {NHL 10} to hit the ice this September. Below is a quote from the press release and the first screens.
"This is the most authentic simulation of hockey we have ever created," said Producer David Littman, a former NHL and minor league goaltender now in his eighth year working on the NHL franchise. "The Stanley Cup is the most difficult trophy in all of sports to win and {NHL 10} replicates the emotion, intensity and toughness players require to win the Cup."
For those who are curious Littman spent most of his career in the minors, but managed to play two games for Buffalo Sabres and one for Tampa Bay Lightning in the NHL. He retired from the sport after only playing 2 games for the Orlando Solar Bears in the IHL during the 1999-2000 season and went on to work with EA on the NHL series instead.
