Tutorial
Battle on the Boards A new board play physics engine lets players shield the puck along the boards, kick-pass it to teammates, or pin an opponent.
Intimidation Tactics Players will be able to fore-check defenders, pressure the puck, and finish checks to force your opposing skaters into making mistakes. Engaging the opposing team's star players will now instigate players and fans. Skaters who frequently harass star players will become antagonized by the opposing crowd and players.
Post-Whistle Action Players will be able to finish checks, retaliate for late shots on goal, draw penalties and pick fights after the referee blows the whistle.
New First Person Fighting Engine Players controlling the team's enforcer will be able to engage instigators in a new first person fighting simulator.
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.
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.
Improved Goalie Intelligence Goaltenders will be able to position themselves more intelligently, react to shots more quickly and recover from saves faster. NHL 10 will feature 250 new goalie animations, including swatting pucks out of the air, second and third saves, and desperation lunges.
Interactive Atmosphere Animations of fans within in the game have been rendered to appear more life-like and detailed. Playoff games will feature towel-waving fans and greater reactions from the crowds.
GM Mode Players will now be able to control a team as if they were a general manager in the "NHL General Manager" mode. This feature enables players to build their own dynasty team through drafting, trading, and signing skaters. A players success will be measured by the number of positive influences they have on their franchise.
Battle for the Cup Mode This mode will allow players to choose two opposing teams and pit them against each other in the Stanley Cup Final. Players will have the option to play a 1, 3, 5, or 7 game elimination round. The winning team will be presented with the Stanley Cup.
Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks will be the cover athlete and official spokesman for NHL 10. Other cover athletes include Mikko Koivu for Finland, Mikkel Boedker for Denmark, Mark Streit for Switzerland and Nicklas Bäckström for Sweden.
