	"Players now progress throughout their career in a multitude of ways. Depending on the player�s position and skill type, they will earn experience points during the season in their own unique manner. At the center of this operation are three main categories that can affect progress; Offense, Defense, and Athletics are taken into consideration for skaters, while Reflexes, Puck Control, and Athletics are specific to goaltenders."

The checking animation one was cool. I hope the game is going to be more realistic than that. I mean seeing Modano and Sakic lay-out those guys is unrealistic.

I know, right. I remember a few years ago when they were promising each players weight, hitting power and player type would affect who they could check, how aggressive they are, etc. And then we see Sakic and Modano dropping guys like Chara. Very unrealistic.

And I already asked him about the tape-to-tape passes. He said that very few passes actually miss....meaning they never bounce over the other guys stick...or get fumbled when trying to catch it. They mostly either get caught...or intercepted by the cpu...not much else.

Really wish I could watch the videos.. why can't this site play their videos like 99% of the other gaming sites do?

Guess I'll have to check them out at work where we have T1 lines.
