Interesting how all the goalies in EAshirts pics have a Ducks helmet. Also, I hope they add a lot more animation. That is lacking big time in this game. Especially some of the wrist shots look really weird.

I agree, Its been one of my big crusades for a while now when talking about the game, on the whole we need more animations on both sides, goalies and skaters.
Will I also agree that I hope the new tender animations are for more of a desperation type of save and they won't fire on a constant basis, it was one of the gripes I had with 2k9's goalies actually where honestly I thought there were too many flashy type of saves on routine shots that you wouldn't see in real life.
Ace: Yeah that comment really bothered me as well, as when it comes to your AI defenders they have a habit in 09 of not really doing enough and for the casual guy, the're not going to be the ones to go into create a play to get their ai teammates moving in either the offensive or defensive zone. I mean we're finally getting some form of board play with NHL10 but really it did take quite the time to get it there and with most of us not having the pleasure to go to the community day, its impossible to judge by screenshots how well its implimented. So as for that comment, sure the basics are there with the controls but the AI can always get much much better, especially the player's non controled AI.
At the end of the day though I really hope the new features are well fleshed out and implimented well enough so that it doesn't feel cheesy or gimmicky. I do have faith considering how far the series has progressed the last few iterations, but its something I want to see in action before I completely sign off on it.
