I scored a goal from my knees on a breakaway. I nearely jumped out of my seat. That was the very 1st time I have ever done that. Also it seems as if scoreing on breakaways is easier then it was in '10, but realistic at the same time.

I don't know what game you are playing, but when I give up the puck after I freeze it and try to pass it, it in up in the back of my net.

Just my ****ing luck. The day the demo is released, my xBox expires.

The presentation loose ends are the problem here. If it just awards a goal without explanation it would be messy and confusing and it is such a rare special case that it hasn't been something we've felt was worth the time against other improvements we could make. It is on the list but still not at the top.

Just after pressing the pass button(RT) simply move the Right Stick up before the pass connects with the intended player and boom. That's it.

As I've been playing the demo, I keep thinking how awesome it is that size is finally going to make a huge difference this year.

Having big, gritty forwards and defensemen really pays off now with the physics system. There's a big difference when you have a guy like Pronger or Chara instead of Carle or Hjalmarsson. I love it.

This is going to add some nice depth to Be A GM because now if you're putting an undersized team on the ice, you could pay for it.

And now I find out that Microsoft no longer gives you a free trial for creating a gamertag.
