They prolly have the stick breaking jacked up for presentation reasons just like the hitting to show off the physics. I firmly believe they know it'd be silly to have 20 sticks breaking per game. A frequency slider would be the ideal way to go about it though imo.

They had it rigged up with a button combination so it could be triggered on demand, sort of a necessity for demoing something that happens infrequently.

Yeah I figured it was something like that just to show off the new features. Especially since NHL11 isn't on the show floor in the first place. Thanks for the clarification Redshirt.

But it can still happen from blocking shots right??? Or did that happen solely because of the command???

Well, it looks like it breaks from the impact of the puck anyway.

Also...since its the rabbit is outta the bag on the user-celebrations, can you tell us whether or not there are realistic options for celebrations and that the CPU uses them appropriately so all the chicken littles can set their minds and hearts at ease???

Please???

Yes, we added sticks breaking from high velocity puck impacts after someone asked about it on Community Day.

The CPU uses generic celebrations.

Some day it would be cool to have them just do the five man hug and that is it.

I think they do hug in the cut-scenes. Doing hugs right in real-time requires physics... but we haven't got that far yet.

Looks like you may have to wait another year or two for real time man on man action.
