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

[Darkleaf]

Unlike some people posting in this thread I actually own a PS3/360 and I have been enjoying the demo a lot, I agree with OBG and RealmK you would have to be blind or on a personal agenda to not see the changes in this years game.

Playing on Allstar/Hardcore is VERY difficult for me. The Computer pretty much possesses the puck in my zone the entire 20mins. I'm lucky if I can connect 30% of my passes and the CPU doesn't fail in poking the puck away from me, or lifting my stick and regaining it.

What am I doing wrong? How can I get better??

One thing that still irks me is that EA still haven't returned the "Always Up" control scheme to what it was in '07 and '08. The shot aiming is still camera relative.

Please, please, please, try and slip this into one of the patches that will eventually be released. Just allow us to use the exact same control scheme as up when facing down. If this gets patched the game will basically be perfect in my books.

What does this have to do with anything?

So because he doesn't play online or doesn't know some of the online features he isn't "qualified" to give impressions?

After a few games I've found something a bit concerning. I may have already been discussed. The rough stuff after the wistle seems to ALWAYS result in at least one penalty. I hope there is a way we can turn this off. I don't want to turn all penalties down, but if we get a penalty after every scuffly, post-wistle, that will get really, really old.

Personally I havent had a problem with the amount of penalties being called after the whistle but I have had some undeserving penalties called on me. If another player hits my player enough times without hitting back I will get a penaly if he does. You can change penalties after the whistle in the full version there is no slider for it but there are different setting altough it is already set on relaxed so you might not be able to change it to your liking.

To slightly follow up on this, is it just me or when they call coincidental penalties its only your player that gets a little summary? You don't find out who else gets called.

Well, that's good. As long as we can turn it off it will be fine.
