To an extent, yes it does. Overlays are all over the place. I've caught myself thinking about a certain milestone stat only to have it pop up or the announcer mention it during the broadcast.
For example. I am batting with Travis Snider from the Blue Jays. Before I get a single, I look at the in-stadium scoreboard and see that Snider is one hit away from his 100th hit of the season. Snider hits a single and sure enough, the camera pans to him at 1st and the announcer says "That is Travis Snider's 100th hit of the season. What a year he is having"...something like that anyways. I believe the same thing happened when one of the opposing pitchers got his 100th strikeout of the season.
Simply amazing. It really makes you feel like you are within the franchise. I wish this upon NHL 11...or 12

It's as comprehensive as you would see on TV. Simply unbelievable. It's everything statistical presentation should be or could be even as there isn't a whole lot they could do better.
In fact...its so damn comprehensive that if I were to write down every single statistical stat I would probably fill a notebook paper with statistical tidbits.
Whats really great...
once you get past the first month of the season the stats really come to life.
I'm going to write an article about this very subject soon.
Statistical presentation of this caliber is no longer a figment of our imaginations...its being done and by multiple game designers and IMO it is really preventing EA's NHL series from becoming the series it could be.

However, when it comes to statistical overlays, its not just possible--it's a reality.

I'm ecstatic the CHL is in the game, bu disgusted gary thorne is the play by play guy. He correctly pronounces 70 percent of the player names properly, if that. He is BRUTAL
looking at stats and presentation and the argument "it is too difficult/ can not be done".
It CAN be done, because it is very simple. Let's face the facts:
All NHL-Player names will be pre-recorded
Numbers from 1-20 will be pre-recorded.
All NHL Teams will be pre-recorded.
All you need now are sentences like:
"[PLAYER X] is on a hot streak, scoring [Number X] goals in the last [Number Y] games."
"[Goalie X] has only won [Number X] in his last [Number Y] starts, let's see how he does today."
"The [Team name X] are on a hot streak right now, having won [number x] of their last [number Y] games."
...
Put these into the opening scene and you have a brand new game.
For those who have played NFL2K5, do you remember having Sports Center? Around the leagues scores? I want that! Heck, even NHL94 had scores around the league and showed highlights from other games (even if they usually were shots from center ice which the goalie couldn't cope with, but still...). NHL94 even had the NHL Awards after the season ended! It can be done! So bring it!
The PS3 has got a blu-ray discs with TONS of space on it, fill it up!

I kind of liked the old clean look of the overlays, this new metal-ish is good too, but I was expecting a more clean look 
The intros looked a bit stiff, and the goalie looks like he´s holding a invisible rink edge when he enter the bench. Overall, the game looks awesome anyhow.

How is it about the rinks and arenas in NHL11? In 2K they had the right colored borders around the riinks and such.
Moncton Coliseum isn't in Dieppe, NB, it actually IS in Moncton.
The team from Acadie-Bathurst is simply called Titan, not the Titans.
"Long Island Arena" actually has a capacity of 16,234.
I hope this is just early build mess-ups.

I'd really like to see user-controlled intros. Let us be able to skate around, shoot, and do all the things that NHL teams do before a game.

I don't know if anyone has said this, but it would be pretty sweet if the the goal horn was blown again for reviewed goals that are allowed for the home team.
I would like more too.. I'm a presentation whore.. but the announcer did seems much more enthusiastic for the NHL game introduction and I hope the two players who are spotlighted have some stats shown and it doesn't go right to the faceoff like that.
I'm sure there are more in game stuff we have yet to see.. at least I'm hopeful.
One thing I still want to see sometime in the future is where they announce the scratches for the game and then after they announce the starters for the other team, the teams come out onto the ice and then your starters are announced. I don't know if that's done everywhere, but that's how they do it here in St. Louis.
