Thanks for the videos.

Can't wait to get my hands on NHL12!

After 1 period it's really nice to see the CPU dumping the puck and using the glass/boards in their own end. I wasn't really seeing a ton of this in the demo.

Thanks, Chase and good choice of camera for CPU/CPU play. The rebounds seem more natural compared to the demo and die more off the pads. Would love to see the AI play the puck to space more instead of always looking for a direct pass. The Boyle hit looked great, the hitter falling adds so much to the collision.

The collisions where both guys fall are my favorite. I'm trying to compile a bunch of them in a short video. My favorite that I have recorded so far is where Subban levels Jordan Staal.

Question from a Ranger fan:

Do Cally, Dubi, Staal and Girardi still have those crappy generic faces?

Thanks for posting these ChaseB.

A couple of observations;

- Nice to see that the star players are noticeable. You can tell when Gabs and Richards are out there. Same with Streit and Okposo.
- In the 2nd video at the 1:07 mark I didn't like seeing Marc Staal making an 80mph perfect tape-to-tape, blind backhand pass across the ice. With his back to his teammate.
In fact, the passing was a bit too clean for my liking. Perhaps sliders help that.
- I don't give this game enough props for it's sound. From the puck, to skates, to crossbars, this game sounds like a real NHL game.
- I'll have to edit McCabe's stats. He's not that great of a puck-carrying dman. Great shot, sure. But not the best skating with it.
- I'm disturbed that ChaseB has an XBL friend named ChubbyBanana.

The only thing missing from those videos showing CPU vs. CPU is... wait for it... an "Authentic" Broadcast camera angle
