NHL Slapshot Blog: A New Era of Hockey Begins

06:13 PM - June 3, 2010 by Steve_OS

Joe Nickolls, Sr. Producer of NHL Slapshot has just posted a blog, bringing in a new era of hockey.

Quote:


	"This has to be the most fun I�ve ever had making a game! The stick really is a game changer. Don�t get me wrong, there were plenty of skeptics - me included! But once you get that stick in your hand and start taking shots and body checks it�s almost impossible to wipe the smile off your face. We�ve had so many focus groups come in and test the game from hard-core hockey fans to **** gamers, and they all seemed to have a great time. NHL Slapshot is far more than just **** hockey too. The career mode is one of the longest and deepest one�s we�ve made! I�m particularly proud of how the game looks too! The game details, the graphics, the player faces and animations are all amazing. One of the most common comments we get is �That�s a Wii game?!?� It all comes down to a great heritage of hockey games at EA and everyone�s enthusiasm for NHL Slapshot. All our friends on NHL 11 have been awesome supporting us and helping us make a great game and I�ve been lucky to have an amazing development team."

Great little blog entry.
I'll definitely be checking this game out. I'm also very intrigued about this deep career mode.

I had a fair amount of hands-on playing time with Slapshot at the community event. I had a lot of fun with it, even if I was quite bad at it. Matt and I lost to Kim and Mandy in an epic 2v2 battle... yes, we lost to the girls.
