All you need now are sentences like: "[PLAYER X] is on a hot streak, scoring [Number X] goals in the last [Number Y] games." "[Goalie X] has only won [Number X] in his last [Number Y] starts, let's see how he does today." "The [Team name X] are on a hot streak right now, having won [number x] of their last [number Y] games." ... Put these into the opening scene and you have a brand new game. For those who have played NFL2K5, do you remember having Sports Center? Around the leagues scores? I want that! Heck, even NHL94 had scores around the league and showed highlights from other games (even if they usually were shots from center ice which the goalie couldn't cope with, but still...). NHL94 even had the NHL Awards after the season ended! It can be done! So bring it! The PS3 has got a blu-ray discs with TONS of space on it, fill it up!

Exactly. If it's been done before it can certainly be done again.

I kind of liked the old clean look of the overlays, this new metal-ish is good too, but I was expecting a more clean look
The intros looked a bit stiff, and the goalie looks like he´s holding a invisible rink edge when he enter the bench. Overall, the game looks awesome anyhow.

How is it about the rinks and arenas in NHL11? In 2K they had the right colored borders around the riinks and such.

Moncton Coliseum isn't in Dieppe, NB, it actually IS in Moncton.
The team from Acadie-Bathurst is simply called Titan, not the Titans.
"Long Island Arena" actually has a capacity of 16,234.


I hope this is just early build mess-ups.

When it comes to dynamic intros and cut-scenes, the developers mentioned that this is their ultimate goal.

They said that as the physics layers are added it will make this type of presentation more possible. Right now, the collision detection isn't where it needs to be to develop a good looking "real time presentation".

Stat overlays and dynamic dialogue need to be added - and hopefully it's an unshown feature or will come in 2012.

As it stands, I agree that the intros will quickly get stale. That's the issue with cut scenes ... they aren't interactive or dynamic. It's great for old tech, but in today's world it's a waste of resource hours.

Stat overlays

They're in 2011. There's a screenshot floating around somewhere. Dynamic commentary (outside of the win streak stuff, which they do have) would be nice too.

NHL 94 didn't even have a regular season mode. Only playoffs, exhibition, and shootout. I think you're confusing it with 95.

maybe, it's been quite some time since I've played it. But you get my point, right?
