I just don't want that shot to be strong, because it's not. You can't get that kind of power behind a shot like that in real life, nobody can, it looks terrible and has been something I've always hated in these games.

3. The shot speed is great. People have complained saying it looks like lightning, that's how it is supposed to look. These guys fire the puck in real life, even on snapshots. That has never been represented well in EA NHL games until now.

Could you please explain just a little more? Is it like HUT where I can swap guys with each other with one button?

Yes, you can do that.

Thank ****ing GOD. That was the bare minimum I was asking for. I mean it is still utterly inexcusable if we can't edit our lines and save them for online play, but I'll take this. Thank you. Rant avoided (thank god because I didn't want to type up everything I was going to type up).

You can set strategies for each individual line and an overall team strategy. Sweet

I love the commentary.. maybe it's because it's something new, but to me, they seem more engaged in the game play.

The new dynamic medium camera is great. I think the arenas and graphics in general are fantastic. I don't think you can get much from watching a video.

I played on AS with authentic puck and shadow.. game is fast and I'm finding it difficult to keep the puck in the zone. I've played the NHL series to death and to me, the CPU players are all over my butt when I have the puck.

Played 4 games, lost 1 in regulation, lost 1 in a shootout, then won 3-1 and 2-1.

Game looks crisp to me and the goal horns are fantastic this year.
