Great info. But if there are not penalties or penalties don't work correctly.... I have no interest.

Any word on that?
Does the penalty slider work?


Honestly the only thing I care about at this point.

When specifically asked about manual goaltending, a producer told me that it's still “being tweaked”.

important to get this right... or the EASHL that has been going strong since 09 will be completely dead if not

that and the sluggishness / 60 fps in terms of the gameplay are 2 most important things that I just read that need fixing or need to focus on most before launch imo

In my opinion this can be made better (the gameplay not the towels) with players weapons. The only sports game I have ever played where every player actually felt different was All-Pro Football (keep in mind I havent played and NBA 2K in years) The game featured no speed, catching or throwing attributes, they were all players based weapons. This could work for NHL.

For an example.
Ovechkin - Sniping, Rocket Shot, One Timer and Big Hit, Power Play Bonus (buffs abilities for the duration of the power play).

Toews - Back-checking, Stick Checking, Eagles Eye (vision based), and Pinpoint Passing.

Subban can have Backchecking, Rocket Shot, One Timer, Power Play Bonus.

Things like that can go a long way to making the game great. The only possible problem is the last time I can remember EA using player weapons they couldn't balance it out enough and it made the online games very unfun.

They actually tried that one year, I think it was NHL 2002, it ended up making the game play more arcadey than ever, granted if memory serves me right the shots in that game all traveled at about 200 mph.

I've been playing NHL 2k10 for the past 5 years with updated rosters. I've never been able to get into an EA NHL game. I'm hoping this one will be the one. I badly need an updated NHL game. .
