Today we have another full period of NHL 2K10 gameplay—this time high-quality, direct-feed footage. The video features some slower human-vs-human gameplay, while also providing a good sense of this year’s defensive stick functions and improvements to both opponent and teammate AI. Enjoy!

After two periods, the Flyers (CPU) lead the Caps (HUM) 2-0. Shots are 17-12 in favor of Washington, but Philadelphia has capitalized on a couple of mistakes and exhibited some solid cycling, positioning and defense.

Here’s the third period of gameplay footage (we apologize for the first few minutes being cut off), using custom sliders—slightly higher game speed, pass speed and accuracy, penalties turned down a little—as the Capitals try to mount a comeback against the CPU-controlled Flyers.

Enjoy the final period of this game. We’ll have more NHL 2K10 coverage coming soon.
