I looked at a bunch of trailers for the game and thought it looked pretty good. I just wish they implemented wrinkling in the player's uniforms like the developers who made MLB 08 did....it looked more realistic and really blew me away....

I like the 2k hockey series. It's consistently better than the NHL series by EA. All in all though, I think sports game demos are a waste of time!

I just think the EA game is slow and clunky. 2k is faster paced and even a little bit arcadey. I haven't played the demo though. I'm just going on the past games.

Probably wont matter much longer, as EA is in formal discussion to purchase Take Two. That means there will be no competition in any sports titles as EA will likely shut down all 2K sports titles.
