Good look, Steve.

That opening menu is awesome.

NateHL: had this awesome hit once, where Salo went to glove the puck down, i took a run at him and laid him flat on his back. Injured, concussion. absolutely satisfying to sit in the box for 2 minutes. so to answer your question, yes, you can steam roll guys who are trying to glove the puck.

RedshirtEA: Yes, if you break a stick with a stick lift you can get a penalty.

Quote:

[Comment From Guest] If the player who broke his stick shoots one-way but a team mate gives him stick that shoots the opposite, will, his ability with the stick be decreased? RedshirtEA: Yes, it is a pretty rare circumstance, but having the wrong curve does affect passing and shooting.

Quote:

RedshirtEA: Yes, you *can* fall if you skate over a broken stick.

Cosign this. What an intro to pump up someone.

Looking at the menu screens (which look awesome too), I'm wondering if they're from the demo? There's only 3 menu options on all of them.

I assume the hustle button will be taking the place of the "push puck speed burst button"? As long as the hustle button works a little better than the push puck ill be happy. They improved the mapping of it in NHL10 but sometimes it's unresponsive when I try to do it with the LT button.

Another good point... really am hoping the AI Dmen are improved.. because EASHL becomes a cross crease fest if you have CPU Dmen...

No...they said in the chat that the 'push puck speed burst' is still in.
