Chris Curutchet (longtime community member VeNOM2099) has produced a 5-minute NHL 2K10 highlight music video. It features HD gameplay footage and highlights set to Filter’s “Hey Man, Nice Shot”.
“This video is a work of LOVE! A love of hockey and a love for videogaming. It’s also a show of appreciation for the developers; if you’ve seen my teaser video, you all saw that NO ONE showed any love for them or their game. I thought it was about time to do something about it and really show them my thanks.”
Nice Shot: NHL 2K10 Video by VeNOM2099
Here’s another CPU-vs-CPU gameplay video, this time at the Winter Classic. I tried changing the sliders up a little:
- Acceleration was turned up… players move quicker as soon as they get the puck
- Speed burst effect is up, but length and recovery are way down… this results in short bursts of speed and it takes a long time for players to recharge (”catch their breath”) before they can go all-out again; this appears to give players an extra step sometimes, while a tired defender is not recharged enough to speed burst to catch up, for better or worse
- Creativity and hitting were turned up a bit
You can see the benefits and some side effects of changing these sliders. Enjoy!

Hope you enjoyed the teaser video, because here’s almost 2 full periods of CPU-vs-CPU gameplay footage. I tweaked the All-Star sliders as follows:
- Lower acceleration
- Slightly longer speed burst length & recovery
- Hitting frequency and effectiveness way down
- Shot tendency up a little, pass tendency down
- Lower shot and pass accuracy, and a few other tweaks
- All presentation elements (puck shadow, puck carrier info, etc) off
It looked pretty decent so I went ahead and recorded. These settings could still use some work, but this should give you a rough idea of the AI and “flow” of NHL 2K10 with just a little slider adjustment.
