Ya but like you said in your previous answer to my post, it might affect online. Plus it would be killer to have this for offline game modes... oh well always NHL 12.

If it's an issue of "online" then make faceoof switching an option that is turned off during online competition.

Or give players a delay of game penalties or remove their ability to go early on faceoffs after so many "mistakes". Something like 5 in a row or 20 in the entire game - anything more removes their ability to take a draw and puts it in the hands of the CPU.

if they added physics i guess i am not to sure what all that will mean. once i play it i will know. but il take a stab at what i invision it will be. first let me say if you can hit someone on the ice and they will all act differently to the contact this must mean you can run into the goalie. and if you can run into the goalie and displace him from the net then i also invision playing online and seing people play together and one smashing into the goalie on purpose while the other shoots, getting a cheap goal so with this being said there must be some new penalties going to be inplace to prevent things like this as well as goal review.

any thoughts to what i just wrote ?

Can't hit the goalies this year. They remain collision free, as in NHL 07-NHL 10.

Can one of the community day attendees tell us whether the trailer showed all the game's *BIG* improvements? Or is there still more to come?

You don't have to be specific, but in general, can we expect more big announcements?

It seemed the trailer was "gameplay only" which is great - but I'm wondering if we can expect more in the other departments.

There is still more "feature" news to come, plus I stumbled across a lot of cool improvements/additions while checking out the various game modes that aren't big ticket items. Too bad I can't talk about most of them yet...
