NHL 10 Video: Board Play

[Boucher]

Do you think anyone is going to use this online??

The throat protector isnt animated? It looks like a tool like that!

Nice to see Fleury use his power leg to get into position for the next save

His pads are wrong though

Nice to see the writing in the ice for the finals

Is the Stanley Cup on the playoff patch on the ice?

I think the non-cheesers will use it because it has been said that it protects you from getting knocked down along the boards, i can see people actually abusing it if its not done right, imagine someone speeding down the boards from the blue-line and a second before they get checked into the boards like 09 (if the defender has an angle), they "turtle" into the boardplay animation to "absorb" the hit.

If it works too well, it could be a problem, if its done right it could drastically improve realism and allow some realistic puck possession and the ability to actually play dump and chase correctly

A few questions:

Why does Letang just wait there? It looks kinda odd with him just standing there.

Has the neutral zone play changed? Because it kinda looks the same from the small sample of video.

I just hope the AI isn't so slow like Letang was there.

The backwards skating looks weird. The players are not crossing over. Kronwall is also shuffling his feet from side to side, without even digging into the ice.
