I've understood that you're only able to earn card packs for the real thing by playing the demo. So no name carries over.

It isn't your actual team for HUT. The players you get are much too good.

Just started my first 3rd period, not 10 seconds in Carter scores against me on a rebound bat in, and it gets reviewed and overturned from no goal to goal. Hell of a way to start things off here lol

I am digging the card game. Probably because that's the only way to play a full game right now though haha. But it should get interesting when we can play others.

EDIT: nevermind, you still only play 1 period. The first game just felt longer. Oh well, in 2 periods my boy John Tavares had 2 goals. Do we get to keep these players for the retail version?

You play the Spitfires first, against Taylor Hall!

Doesn't look like you can mess with the sliders.

YOU CAN SHUT PUCK SHADOW OFF!!!! Also you can change the puck size...?? Don't get that, but whatever.

Well I'm sold. The game just feels more gritty and real, from puck physics where it can get knocked loose pretty easy to the hitting feeling just more solid to the rebounds off tenders. It doesn't feel totally different from 10, just alot more refined.

Love all the new little subtle overlays in the score ticker as well, face off %, shots on goal etc. nice touch. I've already seen a couple new cut scenes as well.

AI seems alot smarter as well though it may be just me getting used to the new feel of the game.

how do the goalies look? also, do you see any new cameras??

Not too happy with a few of the goals scored against me. A few where the goalie made a save, the puck popped up and he just stared at it and then shuffled into it, pushing it into the net. The goals I scored have been nice and satisfying though. And the hits I have been laying with Chara have FELT nice. Not sure about how it looks though.
