NHL 11 Hands-On: Yes, It's Still Awesome

After reading that, I can't wait to get my hands on this year's game.

Will we finally be able to PLAY ANY TEAMS games during the season if we want to? (ala Madden and NCAA Football)

Even tho I am controlling the NY Rangers in my Franchise, sometimes I like to play key matchups like the Penguins vs the Flyers when they are scheduled. EA NHL never allowed this option.

Also will we have more SIM options this year...Like the ability to Sim to a certain part of a period and jump in and play AND jump back out and SIM to another point or SIM to the END if we want? I love Madden's powerful SIM options that lets you taylor how much of a game you want to play and how much you just want to sim out. NHL's SIM option only allowed you to jump in and play the start of a period and then you were forced to play the rest of the game.

I'm curious as to if the SIM engine has been fixed so powerhouses like Detroit, Pitts, Chicago, Boston, Washington, etc, currently don't make the playoffs in NHL10. Or is the SIM stats of the players has been fixed so players like Crosby and Ovie will actually score over 75pts a season and players like Pronger won't have 120 pts, etc.
