Oh and Redshirt, while I have your attention...

Do you know if the Tampa Lightning home jersey is accurate? They have their numbers on the front (like the away jersey and like Buffalo and Dallas). I don't think it's been right in either 08 or 09. I've tweeted this to Rammer a couple of times but he did not respond.

I thought this had been in since '08?

They have had numbers on the front of the away jersey but not the home jersey since 08, when we had to enter the code to get all of the new Edge jerseys.

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.

Thanks for the response...I think I'll just wait till I get Live.

He said he's gonna DL it anyhow, so I can at least play it there in the mean time...

I WANT IT!!!

Redshirt,

Any word whether the PS3 demo will drop today? Thanks in advance!

This game is incredible. I love that they slowed it down and now it's much more tactical. I'm definitely going to have to get used to this hardcore passing system but I think I'm slowing getting the idea.

I love that both teams play defense, and at the same time the CPU just doesn't try to rush into your zone. They will literally circle in the neutral zone waiting for you to make a mistake.

You have to fight for every foot of ice - board play is everything it's supposed to be and essential to a good forecheck and works on both sides of Offense and Defense.

The CPU fills up the passing lanes and WILL pick off passes if you try to make the long, flashy pass - that dog ain't gonna hunt in NHL10

Oh, and if anyone wants more playtime in the demo - have the game tied at the end of the 3rd period to go into a full 20min period. I just did it and then the CPU scored on me with about 7seconds left in the first OT.

I friggin love this game. I'm sold.

Yes, facewashing can be done when ever you want it to be. If you tap Y it's a facewash. And if you hold Y against the boards you protect the puck or shove a player against them. I must have gotten in 7 fights in the last period of the Det Pit game!
