If you thought NHL 09 was awesome, wait until you get a wiff of its successor, NHL 10. Above is a feature walkthrough done by the game’s producer, David Littman, that showcases a majority of improvements that will be added to the game.

A few of the improvements include first-person fighting (which we heard about a while back) the ability to trap the puck against the side boards and away from the opposing team, and the fact that actions after the whistle is blown will effect the actual gameplay.

NHL 10 will be out for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 on September 15th.
