Spiff Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 http://ps2.ign.com/articles/534/534865p1.html It sounds like they added a ton of crap. It seems like just yesterday I bought 2k4, but at $20 there's no way I won't get it. Though seeing St. Louis on the cover sucks, I might have to cut out a picture of Iggy and put that over him.

Spiff Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 points of interest: "The most useful and troublesome new moves are done with the Right Thumbstick on defense, which acts as a Punishment Stick. Slap the stick in different directions for more powerful checks on opponents. If you click in on the Right Thumbstick and punish a player, you'll go over the top with your viciousness." "Puck action is improved this year, particularly around the goal. Last year the goalies were far too dominant and would smother almost any failed shot. This year sees a more realistic interpretation with easily double the number of rebound opportunities. Goalies tend to deflect first and worry about catching later. This leads to a better game pace simply because rebounds turn into a furious battle for control." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighHeat45 Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Those screen shots look like s*** IMO. The ones on the first few pages do because they were taken before the game was finished, if you go through the pages they get better and better then it looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I was going to buy madden and trade in 2k, but I'm just too cheap. I lvoe hockey games and haven't bought one in a while, so I will definately be picking this game up. Speaking of which, it is pretty odd that the game is already coming out. I mean, how much longer is it until hockey season starts (even if it does???). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was gameplay in 2k4? Did they have a dynasty mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I like hockey games and haven't gotten one since Dreamcast, so why not? For $20 it's a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 How was gameplay in 2k4? Did they have a dynasty mode? I love the gameplay in Sega's hockey series so much more than EA's. All my friends preferred it too, I dunno if that means anything to you, but after playing last year's EA version they promised to never complain about anything in ESPN hockey again. And yeah, they have dynasty mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiff Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 Another badass aspect is they have the outdoor arena from when the Oilers and Canadiens played the Heritage Classic. http://www.espnvideogames.com/news/screen.php?id=750&gid=8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graphics wise I'm not sure if it's goin to be top notch, but gameplay wise it looks pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 And also, you can scout potential draft picks by watching them play in actual games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted August 31, 2004 Author Share Posted August 31, 2004 Just got it, its pretty good, but alot of feautures I havent seen yet, like the Ice girls, or the locker room thing.... I think I'll probably get it tomorrow, have you noticed any cool/uncool things within the game worth pointing out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
