In a new producer-hosted NHL 10 trailer, EA Sports is showcasing the upcoming title's "Battle for the Cup" mode. Essentially, the mode boils down to kicking off a best-of 1, 3, 5 or 7 game playoff series from the main menu, but tweaks to the game's crowd, AI and other enhancements crank the pressure on high to perform.
Also revealed (albeit last week) was the game's "Be a GM" mode (video after the break), where players take on the role of a team's General Manager and attempt to build a dynasty over his tenure as the man in charge. With so many additions and enhancements hitting the ice in NHL 10, we eagerly await more details on what rival NHL 2K10 has in store. We totally hope they drop the gloves for our hard-earned cash.

Cannot wait for this!
The NHL series constantly puts out new and innovative features into games, something that a certain other EA Franchise (*cough* Madden) does not.
The Be a Pro mode and Online EA Sports Hockey League were two amazing features.
However, NHL (09) still has its fair share of problems and because it is not aformentioned title, does not promptly get fixed (every hit is intereference/roughing, every other puck goes into the stands, one timers, money goals (debatable).
Hopefully most of this gets cleaned up in '10. Can't wait!
Go Wings!

I had the problem with getting interference called all the time, and then I realized that the NHL franchise is not NHL Hitz, and that the rules actually do matter.
Don't hit a guy that is not in posession of the puck! ... That is, of course, unless your last name happens to be Holmstrom or Franzen... Then you get to hack and slash those two all you want, especially if you're a goalie with the last name of Turco or Brodeur.
