Also, has anyone noticed how small the Stanley Cup is? What the crap? Not that big of deal because you'll hardly ever see it. But still. And while I'm at it... the Flyers have an 86 on their defensive rating the the Hawks have a 85!? Really!? WTF? Sorry, Philly, no way in hell. We lost one defenseman who played a limited role. Ridiculous.

OH EM GEE that's all i can say lol. The new face-off engine is amazing, body checking has never felt been so gratifying i mean you hit a guy who doesn't see it coming into the boards and he is just plain old done for. The celebration (even though that completely ruined the surprise of winning the cup) is solid and the announcers don't seem to get in the way as much as last year. My only real complaint is like most seasons and that's the fan animations in the stands, they seem to robotic in the fact that they all swing their towels in the exact same fashion but thats just a petty thing. The overall game absolutely destroys 2k's game this year once again.

Another nice small thing I noticed, face off formations are not a hidden option anymore.

Tough, I don't think I'll be going 30-1-1 this year.

Just finished playing 3 games, liking what I am seeing

one cool thing I saw that hasn't been mentioned is that players jump up to avoid blocking screened shots, scoring on a nice screened slapper with Pronger, one of the Flyers who was parked in front of Niemi jumped up like you see sometimes in real life, nice touch

A.I. seems improved, 3 periods isn't enough to make a real judgment, but they still allowed me to walk the puck into their almost everytime and I haven't been impressed by the goalie A.I., they still have no idea what to do when you skate directly across the crease from behind the net or from the corner

I play with overhead cam and is it just me or is the ice surface smaller....went back to nhl10 and there seems to be a big diff!?

Meh. I'm sure no one will read this because I'm about the 500 th comment. I'm not overly impressed. 8/10 maybe. Compared to the nhl 10 demo I'm very unimpressed. Presentation needs a huge makeover. I'm tired of seeing a replay after every whistle. I'd rather see brief player bios as players get in scrums...something...ANYTHING but replays after every whistle.Good gameplay is nice, ubt presentation is very important in video games.

I'll buy it on the 7th, but I dunno...the hype is definitely not matching the game

I haven't read every post, so maybe this was already mentioned...

To me, I'm noticing the same type of delay while trying to pass that was in the demo of the '10' game. Anyone else noticing this?
