goalies seem a tad more refined, I did see Niemi make a hell of a diving save but over all not much different than 10, just more fluid if that makes sense? Didn't notice new cameras but I perfer the old classic view to begin with.

at 10% and can't wait to try this out. i have a baseball tourny today so i am only going to get to play for like an hour so hopefully it finishes soon. quick question, to get the extra card pack by inviting a friend, do they have to accept and download it to get the pack or does it unlock as soon as you pick someone randomly to invite?

[We Want The Cup]

Short list of notable pros and cons from a few games...

PROS
Broken Sticks / lost sticks. We will be able to turn the frequency down. But when it DOES happen, I like this aspect of the game.
Spot shadow on goal scorer... I have always wanted this
Card Game (forgot what it is called) seems interesting
Good players seemed good, bad players seemed bad... same with hitting
Sound is top notch. Love when the puck hits the leg pads along the ice
Puck protect animation is WAY better


NOT PROS
Goalie reactions to loose pucks / slow moving pucks
Goalie passing still confuses me (User error?) and I seem to throw the puck in random directions when it is played out of the crease.
Skaters seem too big/fat to me. Maybe it is just me.

I am really hating the demo... Reason is that it will make the time until the retail version comes ALOT SLOWER.... I love the feel of this game so far.. AI seems improved... Whatever passing setting it is on I love it.. You can't just zing the puck around. CPU isn't pass happy like I remember... Overall Graphically the game looks the same but polished.. Maybe it's because I played on the Ps3 before and now am on 360 but the ice surface looks AMAZING... Looks like it's snowed over in the late period.. Back to playing... I'm lovin this thing...

Ice looks MUCH better. Shadows/lighting is also improved before and after the game for sure. Skaters might be a bit sharper, can't be sure.

Your legs move when you protect the puck! Woo!

Really liking the hustle button. Had the puck way out in from of Tavares. Tapped it a few times and beat everyone to it.

In my second play, the puck had gotten by the defenseman and was on its way to the goalie. I used the hustle button to just out skate the defender, make a quick move on the goalie and put it home. It was a thing of beauty, and something I have never really seen in 10.
