thank you sir, I will now be standing down to DEFCON 5, the nuclear weapon keys are back in the safe, all is well in the world, potential NHL11 glitch tactic has been debunked...

Nice to read about the feature, I think I will like it afterall.

Why does it remind me off the 2K sprint and speedburst buttons.

How will fatigue be implemented in EASHL? If it never weare's down, to beginwith. Still don't see how the endurance rating will matter this year. Some clearety would be appreciated.

Redshirt, if I understand correctly, on a breakaway I will start with three quick clicks to reach full speed, then to maintain that speed I'm gonna need to click the LS with a cadence of one click per second, as long as my energy won't get depleted. Is this the correct interpretation of the hustle mechanics? Thanks.

I love the sound of this. It should increase the realism.

Yes. In practice it seems most people just keep hammering on it for good measure though (myself included). If you have lots of room in front of you before reaching the net then push puck is the way to go to get maximum separation from the pursuit.

You will fatigue in EASHL, the recovery rate while on the ice is just a lot higher than in a game where line changes exist. Putting attribute points into Endurance makes a big difference now.
