It was a thing of beauty, and something I have never really seen in 10.

Everything just seems more realistic! The ice has a better feel and the sounds are great. The goalies are kinda cluless but maybe thats minor?and i like the puck handling a lot more than 10.

Seriously man, this is gonna be torture to wait for. The retail usually plays a little better than the demo too. Haven't really seen any weird goalie stuff... I did see a goal off of two different poke checks, that the goalie couldn't get to. Other than that I am loving mostly everything, need to figure out the faceoff stuff some more though.

Hustle button is the left analog? never mind should have read two post above me. At any rate, I really like the game this year, minor demo gripe can't change difficulty beyond pro in the pokemon card thingy but thats about it.

For people's comments on the goalies, I think its the physics being looser, the puck no longer suctions to the glove and it feels alot more live in just about all situations imo at least, it might be something they further tuned for retail as I'm not entirely sure how old this build is.

Yea the pro difficulty is getting bored, but it makes it easier to learn the gameplay, and the goalie stuff was just wierd.the goalie caught the puck and his glove was in the net and they called it a goal?idk and he like shuffled one inbetween his pads.
