How long did it take you to google that, Qb? 5 seconds?

Apparently that's too much for EA Sports.

Wow yeah blue helmets for the away uni? Man, one would think it would be easy to check these things before putting them in game. 20 bucks says we get blue helmets on away games this year caps fans.

That kind of error is probably the LAZIEST error ever made by an EA Sports team, ever. Unbelievable. Just when you think you have a team dedicated to a real-life sim, you see them take a team's uniform and destroy it.

I know you're ticked, Tyler, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But dial down the righteous fury a notch or two. We don't know all the facts and I think it's a bit overboard to completely dump on everyone. Hopefully there's an explanation other than just a simple oversight...

I know, I know. I PM'd Redshirt so hopefully he can share some insight. This just really makes me angry, because I think this game is going to ROCK, but this just makes me want to avoid playing on the road, because it's SO obviously wrong. With the black home helmets, it was passable, but this...infuriating. The rosters are also pretty screwed up (like an unbelievable amount), but I'm sure that's how it is with every team, so that doesn't both me as much.

Maybe you can chose the color of the helmet, before you start a game? If not that is pretty weak, but mayeb that is the only way to get the helemts blue for home games.

I really HOPE that you AVOIDED the strategic use of CAPS in your PM.

Yeah, they can leave something to be desired. I wonder if Steckel will be a 50 FO rating again?


Hmm, that's a lot of smirking...

I was thinking the same thing. The blue helmets and the wrong tampa bay lightning jersey aren't game killers. We all know that EA is the kind of patches, so I doubt that the game will see this for long. This version might even be a beta, who knows!?

As for the Broadcast camera, I will never use this camera in NHL 10 because it shows line changes. The line changes are simply a guy disappearing after hoping over the boards and another guy appearing taking his place. This veiw also makes every person on the ice look the same size

The AI is actually good. They set plays and cycle. AO was actually a shoot first player, and that differentiated him from his teammates. I even like the dumping and boardplay. Looked really good. The goal was good but the shot was a laser. Briere barely hit the puck and it lasered right in, just like NHL 09. I don't mean to nitpick but I cringe when I see this stuff. Other than that the goalies played petty solid and the shot speeds looked good.

BTW, what difficulty was this on?
