Errr, I must have missed that year off to rewrite everything. Nope, we rebuild this ship while it is sailing. Even in the lockout year (before my time on NHL) it shipped a game.

I've played the demo on both consoles and see no differences. I can't stand using the PS3 controller for NHL10 though, it just doesn't feel right.

I also noticed that the problem where you simply can't pass for a second or two when the computer is forechecking you persists on the PS3 as well. Redshirt, is this a glitch or was this intended? It doesn't make any sense.

I guess he would be talking about 2005. Though I wouldn't have considered it a year off for you guys. The 360 came out late november of 05, which would have been 2 months after after NHL 06 came out for pc and all of the other last gen systems. You guys just didn't release a half assed port like all of the other yearly sports games did once the 360 dropped.

Been there and done that! But scoring a hat trick didn't hurt!

In BAP mode I've noticed that those little defensive pokes your player automatically did last year aren't there anymore. Is this correct? The CPU is passing the puck inches alongside me with me facing the passer and nothing happens. Last year the BAP would automatically use his stick to intercept the pass.

Also when multiple penalties are called it would be nice to see them all mentioned in a cut-scene. Most of the time you only see your own player get the call too find out after the cut-scene you're in a powerplay situation because someone got a instigator penalty on the opposing theme.

Overall I hope standard slidersettings have been tweaked a bit.
