NHL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360 & PS3)

i know this was probably mentioned already- but i just played the demo yesterday.
The board play is going to add so much to this game.
That, and the fact the CPU doesnt skate around your players on superstar makes this game 100x better than last year.

After playing the NHL 10 demo, it looks and feels the same as 09. I have noticed some advancement in gameplay and goalie animations, but this game needs a presentation overhaul.

Agreed. I like the demo, but they definitely need to add some new camera angles or something. The broadcast cam is pretty weak, and that's the angle I use the most. If 2k's broadcast cam is as good as it looks in the gamespot video, I think I'm going to go with that title this year.

There wasn't an 06 version on the 360/PS3 is what I was getting at.
Edit: or should I say the 360. Basically EA didn't do a half *** port job like 2k did with 2k6.

Just been playing BAP for 3 hrs and i have to say the more i play the more i notice that the teammate AI is still pretty poor especially in the defensive zone. They just seem to have no clue what to do with the puck when under pressure from the cpu AI.

Is anybody else noticing this?

I'm stuck at work for the weekend and haven't had much time with my ps3 demo yet, so a question for those of you deep into BAP:

In 09 your BAP would always start the period, even if he was a 4th line scrub, and no matter what line you were on you'd get 1st PP time and finish the game with 30+ minutes even as a forward, while your team mates (even Ovechkin, Crosby or Iginla) would play far less than you and their production would be screwed up as a result. Have they fixed this, does your ice time reflect your player?

Can you still call for a line change as a player, which is kind of ridiculous, or does the coach make those decisions?

Hows the mode overall, improvements in coach feedback? Do you always start on the NHL club or spend time in the minors? How much time in the minors?

Anyone drafted in the 2nd round or worse?

Whats your overall when you start the game?

I think OVR is around 74.

It's not possible to do any line changes in the demo, they are set to off. You also are always on the first line.
