I hope the TGH's are totally redone this year. They are generally irrelevent players in the NHL today, yet the ratings formula forever has tabulated their overall rating in the high 70's and low 80's. I never want to see a TGH in a third line checking role or on the PK unit ever again.

Wow, the subtle dekes on the left stick should really smooth out those jerky back and forth dekes.

Subtle stickhandling has been sorely lacking in the past. This looks very nice.

If someone didn't get it what I meant in my post. It was this I tried to say :P

I wonder if we're going to see the spin move revamped as a result of the new skating.

The deking with the new skating playing a part of it, looks pretty organic looking at least in the debug tool. It'll be interesting to see how smooth it looks in game.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me realize just how complicated these games are. Some pretty smart people make these games. On a side note, man I miss Versteeg.

Agreed!

I am a Computer Science student so I, and anyone else who has worked with coding, understand how difficult some of this stuff can be.

Hell, some of my simple homework assignments (programs) run about 50-100 lines of code, and sometimes I spend hours trying to fix something wrong with a program. I can't IMAGINE how complicated things get when these guys are dealing with hundreds of thousands of lines of code.

I would imagine it's frustrating for them at times when people complain and say "add this" or "add that!" like it's a simple thing, when in all actuality it may be very complicated.

Refreshing to see someone with an insider perspective. I've been guilty myself of thinking "how hard could it be to simply add ______? Maybe EA's just lazy"!

Very good post!
