NHL 11 Video: Quick Clip 4B - The Call / Quick Clip 5 - Opening Sequences

[KraZe]

The one thing that I didn't really like about the entrances was how the players were coming onto the ice. To me, they looked really "stiff" when they were doing that little sprint into the ice. Most players I see don't "run" standing straight up like they look on these videos. Just looks awkward.

This is exactly the type of stuff they need to make openings and cutscenes useful.

I thought the samething. They look akward

it's amazing they did anything with the presentation at all considering all of the gameplay features they added.

This is great news on the presentation front! Hopefully some variety will be thrown in here and there, but from what I see, it's definitely an improvement. Let's just hope it's like this across the board instead of just in pre-game.

I blinked and I almost missed the spotlighted players. Was it on fast forward?

I think and I HOPE it was. I believe they skipped right to the face-off right after the players are shown...

THIS is exactly what is needed! The same "players-sitting-down-on-the-bench"-animation in 82+games? No thank you!

Give us stats, comments and when playing playoffs, give us a short sit-rep! Who's hot, which team is in the lead, leading scorers etc...

It's not that hard!
