NHL 10 Q&A: Day 1 Stuck

Posted on August 25, 2009 at 02:33 PM.

Have an NHL 10 question? Ask it here. Just one question. If I answer it, you can submit another. If you are not posting a question and your comment brings nothing to the table, it will be deleted.

Please be specific in your questions, as I mostly played online last year. So if there was an issue with something last year, that you'd like me to look into, make sure you detail it, so I can look into it.

	Steve- What are you seeing in terms of goal variety. One of the things that drove me crazy about 09 (and the 10) demo was that the CPU robo goalie would rear it's ugly head, forcing you to resort to scoring the same types of goals over and over again. Do the goals you score feel organic (slappers go in, deflections, mid range wristers, etc)? Also, how is the CPU goalie AI- do they seem to stop almost everything, even scrub goaltenders? Thanks for the impressions.

Yes, I've seen all of those types of goals, that you pointed out. I've also seen a few goals where players bat the puck out of the air, one timers on loose pucks and players shooting from their knees. I haven't seen the ones as described very often, so it really adds to the game, since you don't see them a lot. I've also seen the defense bat the pucks out, fyi.

I like to set up at the point and fire a shot and have one of my teammates try to redirect it in for a goal. Not automatic of course, but so cool to see on replay, over and over.

The stud goalies are just that, studs. While the mediocre goalies are definitely easier to score on, that doesn't necessarily mean it's easy.

Can you tinker around with the sliders, mainly the AI passing accuracy and pass speed and see if that stops the AI from having laser like passes. Thanks for doing this Q&A thing by the way.

	# 12 dangermonkey @ Aug 25 (4 Hours Ago) is the winter classic in the game?

Well, it's the Flyers @ Boston, but they aren't playing @ Fenway Park, if that is what you are getting at.

Steve I've been trying to find out, is there an alternating camera view using the action cam this year. Or are we stuck skating "up" ice the entire game. thanks

	rawgamer @ Aug 25 (3 Hours Ago) Can you custom create jerseys in any way (be it using NHL logos, changing colors, etc) for the EASHL like you can in single player or are we still stuck with exactly what EA throws in the game? If you can create jerseys can you elaborate on the depth of it? I know they added the juniors jerseys, but still that isn't enough in my opinion to make the teams seem more unique.

Sorry man, without actually getting online to have people join the club, I really can't get into any options at this point, have to wait for early retail.

	TDKing @ Aug 25 (3 Hours Ago) Is the fight for the cup mode available as an online mode? How about the new playoff mode, is that available as an online mode? or are these two modes offline only. Thanks.

From the looks of it, they are only offline modes. When going into online, there is Online Versus Mode, EASHL, Online Game Modes (Online Shootout, Online Team Play, Online Leagues).

	muckdaddy @ Aug 25 (3 Hours Ago) What modes can you use fantasy draft (ie. tournament, playoffs, franchise, etc.)? Thanks

It's only available in season mode and Be a GM mode, as far as I can tell.

	Steve - Thanks for doing this. 2 part question regarding the Sabres 1. Did they fix their Alternate uniforms so that the blue is a darker blue like their main uniform, and is the correct piping on the jersey this year? Do they still have the white winter classic throwback? 2. Did they fix the center ice logo at HSBC Arena so that it is the Sabres alternate logo, and not the sluggalo? Thanks!

If you don't mind, put this in the screenshot requests topic and I'll try to get to it.

	Jdawg09 @ Aug 25 (2 Hours Ago) Thanks Steve Quick question.............Did they fix the glitch of announcers giving wrong names to rookie players----a la Oleg Kolesnik announced Shaone Morrison?

Hmm. Haven't noticed any wrong name calling for rookies, as of yet.

	GurraC @ Aug 25 (2 Hours Ago) I�m qurious about the Swedish Eliteserien teams aswell. Can you please check if my favourite team Lule� has got their yellow jersey added (their yellow jersey was their third jersey last season but is their regular jersey this season) and can you check the colours of F�rjestad please. Their dark jersey, is it black or green? Thanks in advance!

Please post this in the screenshot requests topic and I'll get to it when I can.

	# 26 jsquigg @ Aug 25 (1 Hour Ago) The developers have said that the "laser passing" is gone this year on hardcore level, but I still saw the cpu making super accurate passes on the demo in hardcore mode (haven't played much, might be missing something). How is the cpu passing in the game?

Lowering the sliders for AI passing accuracy works, in this case. I haven't tried the demo, so I'm not sure if sliders work there, but adjusting the AI passing accuracy slider does work here.

	Zlax45 @ Aug 25 (1 Hour Ago) Any luck with Franchise length? Can you play less then 82 games seasons?

Nope, still 82. As far as I can tell, there is no way of changing it.

	mcstub @ Aug 25 (1 Hour Ago) Can you edit a players position? Example, Kessel is listed as a center at least in 09, but generally plays wing. Can we edit a players default position?

You can change the "Player Type" (Tough Guy, Grinder, Playmaker, Sniper, Power Forward, Dangler, for example) but can't change default position, from what I can tell.

# 45 kutya @ Aug 25

nhl 09's goalie BAP left much to be desired. With the new goalie controls, how has it improved? Is it more fun to play? can the AI score cheese goals on you like 09?
