Here's a few NHL 10 screenshots, including one of the new first person fighting mode. This year's incarnation is due in the Autumn as usual on Xbox 360 and PS3 and apparently contains over 200 gameplay refinements.

"This is the most authentic simulation of hockey we have ever created," said Producer David Littman, a former NHL and minor league goaltender now in his eighth year working on the NHL franchise. "The Stanley Cup is the most difficult trophy in all of sports to win and NHL 10 replicates the emotion, intensity and toughness players require to win the Cup."
