Agreed on ALL accounts.

Incredibly impressed with this demo. Then again, I've liked every version since it's current console iterations, so take that for what it's worth...

I think the true performance skating fundamentally changes the game more than anything since the shot stick.

I'd like to know what settings each person used for the round table.

I agree with most of the impressions, but faceoffs weren't untouched. The controls are the same, but there is much more variety in where the puck ends up.

agree on most..

I think I'm sold on this game, FINALLY, after playing the demo. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new skating engine, being able to skate in reverse, the challenge of scoring. This will be my first NHL since PS1 days. Sheesh.

I can't speak for Kelvin or Glenn, but so far I've tried all of these settings combinations:

Allstar -- default, normal, hardcore
Superstar -- default, normal, hardcore

I like Allstar hardcore the best out of everything I've tried.
