NHL 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)

Mmm, just lost a long post, slightly angry right now.

Overall fantastic, but can we fix the clueless goalie problem? Seems like at least a couple times a period the goalie doesn't know where the puck is and that is just silly when the puck is on the back of his neck.

And oh, the backhand-forehand-curl-low and away glitch shot still works.

[playingwithfire]

oh, bravo on fixing the silly missed one-timer from last year. Have yet to noticed one. Also, is goalie tuned to be a lot quicker post to post. Niemi is just so much quicker laterally than my OTP goalie which had decent ratings(95 agility, 90 speed)

So I tried the Ultimate Team thing a little while ago, and it was better than I expected, the good players I got on my team were: Zetterberg, Malkin, Okposo, Cleary, Lidstrom, Chara, and Ryan Miller.

I played and won the tournament, beat the Taylor Hall team 2-0, won against the Flyers in OT 1-0, won a shootout against the Blackhawks 0-0 and beat Team Canada in OT 1-0. Kinda fun putting together different lineups trying to maximize the chemistry, might play this as a change-up to Online Vs, Be A GM and EASHL this year... can't say the game is short on options.

I do the Ultimate Team thing. I get a decent team, notables: Tyler SEGUIN, Niklas Backstrom, P.K. Subban, Luongo. Now, I ended up getting jerseys from some European team, and LEAFS jerseys.

I am a Bruins fan.

First game, Tyler Seguin, in a LEAFS jersey, scores on a disgusting snapshot short side top corner.


LOL


Leafsfansumad.

I beat Windsor 6-0, Philly 5-0, Chicago 4-1, Canada 2-1. Pro difficulty level is too easy for me!

Anyway, this has to be the biggest annoyance in this game. I HATE IT when Gary Thorne mis pronounces last names... don't the EA NHL dev's hear him say some of these names wrong? Neimi, Subban, Filpula, etc.... c'mon how can you notice he can't say half these last names right!?!?

Niemi? Don't you mean "Niemen"?

I love the demo. I got deked the hell out of my skates by Hossa, and then he sniped Leighton. Very impressive, the CPU never did that last year. I can actually see me doing some Be A GM this year, I couldn't do it the last few years because the CPU was unplayable.
