The drop pass can be done in two different ways. Either release the left stick (so your player is gliding) and tap RB, or hold Vision Control (LT) and tap RB.

A face wash happens when you tap Y (not press) from behind a player, it should be easy to do post-whistle when everyone is standing still.

Thanks, can the face washing be done before the whistle, I mean while in normal gameplay?

Thanks!

Also, for anyone interested, you can do the leg lift/fake shot by pressing the right stick.

I think this will work (never tried it though), you would need to move his XBox profile to your 360, download the game and then move the profile back.

I would not recommend using xbox profile recovery to move the account, a memory card would be safer if you have one available. Otherwise make sure you know what the consequences of doing the recovery would be for your friend.

I'm not sure that it would cause your friend problems, but I have a suspicion that he might loose information when he re-recovers it on his xbox.

This is fantastic. Much slower and more realistic flow to the game; I think someone mentioned that it wasn't just an 'up and down' kinda game and that's really the best way to describe it.

Hardcore passing is a challenge but it makes you actually feel like you're doing something when you make a decent breakout pass. I set up a nice goal and I was actually excited to get an assist - that's definitely a first in videogame hockey.

I suck terribly at the fighting but it's pretty neat. It's not as loose as I thought it was going to be however. I'm not sure if it's just that the rest of the game plays so loose and realistic that it just makes the fighting seem a little stiff or what but something is off there.

The after whistle scrums are a neat addition, especially the way you get mobbed for poking at the goalie after he freezes the puck. The only downside to this in the demo is that it seems like there are offsetting penalties almost EVERY time, I hope that's something that is adjustable - I want to be able to try to draw people into penalties and such.

I really can't wait to get my hands on this game. Once again they've managed to take an almost perfect game and make it better. I thought 08 was the greatest thing ever until I played that 09 demo last year and couldn't go back to 08, it's looking like the same story now with this demo and 09!
