NHL 10 Producer Blog: Part One

[madrob]

the one thing i hope they fix is when the cpu gets a penalty on your end of the ice and your goalie goes sprinting off the ice and your left there standing in front of your own net holding the puck only to be hit by the cpu defender then to see the puck go trickling in the net for them to get a cheap goal.

that to me was a big bug id rather see my goalie leave my net once im out of my own zone with the puck after any kind of penalty is called besides the fact no goalie in the world woud go running to get off the ice until you clear your own zone.

Very impressive couple of videos. Littman seems like he's sincerely interested in improving the game and putting out a quality sim product.

To be fair, I think he and his team have been doing that since 07 on a yearly basis. Do they have time to fix every issue that we the community have quams with? No not always as fast as we'd like. But I think they have a pretty decent track record when it comes to actually wanting to move the NHL sku in a more sim direction.

"See some things in the past get added again"

Sounds like playoff mode, and hopefully fantasy draft.

I think the NHL team has done a remarkable job since 07. The series was in the gutter prior to 06 and they turned it into in my opinion the best sports game out right now.

Not many devs listen to the community as well as they do. I haven't seen a studio release as many patches as they have to fix glitches and such.

"No glitch goals" seems like a bit of a stretch but at least they're keeping their eyes open. I appreciate that.

I'm praying that it's out of town scores. My buddies and I used to love watching these between periods. To the point that anyone who touched the controller during intermission was banished from the Genesis for the night.

As much as a pipedream that would be to see back, I'd go nuts if it were. If they tied into some intermission report type deal to it as well on other games going on that would just be sick. Highly doubtful but hey if the're redoing the crowd and atmosphere, heres to hoping for more & deeper presentation features as well. My guess is season/playoff seperate modes since so many have been asking for that to be put back in for a couple years now.

Or...........ZAMBONI BETWEEN PERIODS.

I've never loved such a small thing about a game so much.
