Has anyone else noticed that they have totally re-worked the protect puck feature? Gone are the days of the cheesey wrap around, thank God.

I was going to say, if you do mainly offline, it shouldn't make much difference but if online is a big part of your NHL playing, 360 is definitely the way to go.

I'm going to DL the demo on the PS3. Curious about these frame rate hiccups you and others have mentioned. I know that I get frame rate drops on BAP camera online when I go into my defensive zone corners. It has a little bit to do with the tv you have and the cables you're using as some people get it worse than others.

Just to name a few.

Thanks for the info.

Geno is a beast, indeed! If you get him in any prime scoring zones, it's almost automatic. I played a game of NHL '10 online today and felt totally stifled, control wise. It feels so unnatural after so much time with the demo.

They really did change the feel of the game. I'm so pumped for the retail.
