True, but I've tried a hand at it in BAP offline and in the EASHL. I didn't get burned that bad. I had a couple wins.

hear hear. how are we supposed to have player separation when a lumbering defensmen and speedy winger can both pull off 180's and super tight 90 degree turns? it's bizarre that EA didn't adjust this at all. and disappointing.

nice stuff, might actually dabble with the goalie more this year

Looks really good. I enjoyed controlling the goalies before but the added depth this year should make it a lot more rewarding.

Same here as said earlier in this thread, same goes for all the vids here. Havent stumbled upon video viewing problems anywhere else, at least in the usual gametrailers, gamespot etc with my system.

I 2nd this as well.

So many members here have noticed this skating issue since 08 and it's still in the game. It's disappointing.
For NHL11 they really need to work on the skating physics. Sure, the animations are gorgeous, but the actual momentum or dynamics of skating are way off in some instances.

I have to admit I get a bit bummed when I see these videos of NHL10 where the CPU magically turns 90 or 180 degrees without any loss of momentum or the puck.

It's still a must buy for me, but I'd like to see EA address this for next year.
At least give the best skaters this advantage, not guys like Tomas Holmstrom.
