I can honestly say I can't wait until Sept!! IMO who gives a cR$p about football.. This hockey title I have a feeling will just be amazing... Developers for Ea Canada/Nhl series have my complete respect.. Somehow when they say something to us, I believe they are going to deliver.. If not perfect, They at least will try it... This is about the ONLY developer I actually trust... I don't know why alot of other developers can't tell us the truth or give us what we should've had 5 years ago.. I'm not going to point fingers.. But NHL series from Ea has just been constantly better.. I am mainly a sports gamer so I can't speak for all developers.. I will say it will be a long summer.. 1) I don't like the heat so much and 2) NHL 11 is coming out.. I think presentation is fine for the most part.. However, If Ea NHL series delivers on this "new engine" then The current presentation will be fine with me.. Just give me a realistic playing game, and Some decent presentation Which Nhl 10 has, I am one happy gamer

I agree with a lot of what you say here Tim.

The NHL game has cause me to lose quite a bit of interest in the football games too. I especially like that the NHL game is nearly non stop action. And I don't have to have a boat load of "House rules" with NHL.

And yep...I do have a bit more faith in the EA Canada team also.

Tim,

I agree almost completely.

What's crazy is that I'm a football guy. I played collegiate football for a prestigious school. Have season tickets to my alma mater. I never miss a game. I follow the guys after they leave. I follow our recruiting through Rivals. I LOVE college football.

But -- the guys that develop Madden and NCAA have lost my respect. They keep delivering gimmicks and things no one asked for. Or they deliver but it's so far behind the current sports gaming curve it seems outdated.

The NHL team ... wow. They are setting the curve.

I quit watching the NHL after the lockout. It was my favorite sport to watch, but they ruined it. It was NHL 2009 that got me watching the sport again. That's how good this series is.

This physics thing is a tough one for me, i just dont see how its going to be done properly without redoing the whole engine. Do they mean real physics within their engine or REAL world physics all i can say is what is in the game now is the opposite of real physics as far as the puck goes im guessing its everything but the puck in this case.
If they could somehow create realistic puck physics with this engine ill be all over it as it would go along way towards changing the feeling of the game which doesn't always feel as if it would be happening this way in real life.

Real time physics is a new engine.
