Playing the NHL 10 Beta this weekend, any questions?

[rawgamer]

Is there a club practice mode for the EASHL?
What kind of uniform options will there be when you create your club in the EASHL?
Will we have any creative freedom when making online team uniforms?

Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions.

Can you tell us the kind of tolerance there is in terms of making trades and signing fre agents in BAGM?

Also, does the AI score more goals in BAP?

Because although real hockey is a fast game its slower than you think when you compare it to a video game. Thats what sliders are for, so we can all player our own perfect game.

Any chance you can have more than one user in franchise modes?

As asked above, online leagues, how do they look? Hopefully a lot better and more indepth than before.

Check out the alternates/throwbacks, anything new to report? The city of Hartford struck a deal with the NHL to allow them to use the Whalers logo finally after all these years, see if the Canes have that in there by chance. Are the upcoming seasons alternates hidden by a code for unlocking at a later date again?

Anything special in the presentation other than what we know, such as hats for hat tricks, zambonis, players losing a helmet/glove or stick during game play, glass breaking, half empty arenas etc?

Any type of pre-season with expanded rosters to have farm players try out for the big club (not be a pro mode)?

Talk players out of retirement at the end of their career and your season?

What team specific crowd chants have you heard?

Any new goalie masks, paint jobs, or gear that is worth mentioning?

Pop a cpu v cpu game on and see if there are any penalties and how the cpu plays in this mode please.

[VeryEvilAsh]

Can you please verify if the CPU will initiate post whistle scrums or does the player have to do it every single time. Also in BAP mode if your team needs a boost because they are fumbling pucks, is your tough guy on your team going to fight or does the player have to do it and waste 5 mins in the box even though they are a sniper? I ask this because last year I was on the Flyers and had to watch Riley Cote skate around the ice and never check or fight for a whole season.

[aqueous]

agreed.

also, are you able to sign a player under the last year of his contract to an extension as per the CBA? i'd almost rather have this than RFAs...

[wsu_gb23]

was there ANYTHING added to presentation this year? The game looks identical to the last couple of years. (gameplay aside)
