I think my favorite addition(next to the new physics) is the protect puck function now having skating with it. It just looks awesome and feels authentic, especially in tight areas or around the net. And, it's not a given that you'll exploit a guy using it.

So do I get to keep this Ultimate Team? Because I'm loving mine! Taylor Hall, Luongo, Fippula, Rask, Enstrom, Keith.

i must have missed the attribute effect slider. bc i looked through them for 10 mins. ill look again.

the hate is not from the move forehand to backhand etc. the hate comes from i can score on the same backhand to forehand move 99.9% of the time. i have to make myself mix it up. the goalie ai should not allow that same goal to go in over and over and over.

i come in on breakaway. i deke out with the r-stick to my backhand, hold for a sec, then release (on the release, i dont even push the stick to the forehand it just goes back to forehand position), goes back to forehand, i flick up on r-stick and boom back of the net. 99.9% of the time.

i honestly laugh at all these guys online in nhl 10, do all this fancy pants stuff to score, when all i do is a basic move and score just as much if not more lol.

Ah, I gotcha Fiddy... misunderstood your comments. I'm 99.9% sure attribute effect is still there, along with some new ones.

Damn, that is a shame. I'm glad that it's at the very least not so frequent since I haven't seen it yet. Was it the stumble or the random leaping barrel roll that you saw? Man I hate the roll.
