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

[jdmorgan3]

I am one who hasn't played many NHL games. I remember maybe 04 and 07. I downloaded the demo today and really enjoyed myself. Not being a heavy follower of NHL but understanding the basic the game was fun.

I did find this game amazing due to the fact there isn't really the ability to just pass and pass and get the puck into a great scoring position. A few times when the Red Wings were pushing for a late goal I could get a breakaway but besides that you gotta earn your shots.

Finally is there a turbo button? And how do you make a user controlled player slide infront of a shot? I see pass block but they usually just get down on a knee. How do I slide across infront of shot.

Will definately be purchasing this on release.

Theres no turbo boost, skating speed is analog pressure sensitive and players ramp up in stages to get to full speed. to do a full dive is both bumpers on the 360, I would imagine that would be L1 + L2 on the PS3 not certain.

I just had the coolest play ever happen in the be a pro

Reply if you have had it happen to you

I have a delayed penalty on me. A guy takes a shot from the blue line and it deflects off his own guy and slides down the ice into the net left empty by the goalie who skated to the bench after the penalty

And of course the instant replay is disabled so i filmed it on the highlight on my phone but it doesnt show the whole thing

Ever since this new update for the PS3, when trying to exit the NHL 10 demo my PS3 restarts. Is this happening to anyone else?

Mine doesn't do that. I have no issue exiting the game back to the XMB.
