EA officially announced NHL 10 and not only will you be playing for real NHL teams going for the Stanley Cup, you’ll get to trade punches thanks to a first-person fighting engine.

You can throw punches, grab another players jersey and pop one off in his face, and when you challenge a skill player – the opposing team’s touch guy will step in to settle the score.

As far as the actual act of hockey itself, thanks to a new board physics engine, players can use their body to shield the puck on the boards and then kick-pass it to teammates.

The game has more than 200 gameplay refinements, a new 360 degrees precision passing mechanic and new interactive crowds that wave towels, glass bangers and react to your actions on the ice.

Groovy.

NHL 10 arrives in stores this September for PS3, and Xbox 360.

Read on for the press release.
