A few observations from my first hour with the demo:

- Came in one-on-one and tried the jump deke just to see what it looked like. My player jumped right into the defeseman who essentially body-slammed me to the ice. I burst out laughing at that one.

- Had the AI ring one off both posts and stay out (was pretty cool). All in all, the puck physics seem better.

- I tied my games twice in the final 10 seconds playing HUT. Almost seemed like the CPU was allowing me a second life.

- You can definitely snipe with snap shots now which is awesome. I had a beauty off-wing snapper with Malkin. Also scored on a bomb from the point with Chara. One cool thing during my game vs. the Spitfires, their goaltender allowed 3 goals blocker side. One of them he stabbed at with his blocker and missed. The other one, Chara zipped it right under. Don't know if it was coincedence, but it seemed like his achilles.

- The broken/dropped sticks are very organic and nicely done. Cool to see Hossa get leveled and quickly go get his stick and rejoin on the backcheck.

One other thing I loved, was the subtle reactions to penalties. I got called for a slash that barely impeded Sharp at all. Also had a trip where Chara fell and slid but recovered while still sliding. Looked awesome.

Are there any contract cards the Ultimate Team demo? I had three guys who finished their contracts. I replaced two of them with scratched players, but I'm out of scratched players and I have no one to replace my second line d-man with. I can't find contract cards anywhere... all I can find are Training Cards.
