Feel free to present legitimate criticism regarding the game, but check the condescending attitude and hackneyed platitudes at the door.

I think it's physics-based skating. Look around the :19 second mark.

If so, I'm excited. But it'll mean nothing if the rest of the game isn't up to par and the issues from last year aren't fixed.

I really hope the physics engine makes large strides this year. Last year was a mis-step, in my opinion. I preferred the body contact in '11 more.

If your meaning that the sticks wouldn't morph through objects any longer Jyoung...man, I'd love to see that too.

I've thought for quite a while that this alone would change the game very dramatically. And for the better.

However...someone here posted and excerpt of a question and answer thingy from the EA boards about this very thing. And the apparent response from an EA rep was a bit discouraging. The rep...if I was understanding things right, gave off the at least impression to me anyway...that this had been tried.[sticks not morphing] and the rep claimed that it lead to a more frustrating brand of gameplay. Due to Users losing control of the puck far too often. Which kinda sounds like the more sloppy type of play many of us are looking for. So...a bummer if it's very possible to have this kind of stick physic, but they've chose not to implement it.

Again...not sure if I was understanding things right. But this was what I got from the Q and A.

Hopefully some simple additions like:

1. The ability to line match.
2. Players being kicked out of the face off circle.

I personally hope it's 1)new sakting engine b)new presentation overhaul (commentary, all visuals)

I think you were talking about this thread:

Question: Are you planning to look into the "stick through legs/puck through post" non-solid object issue that the game has? Rammer:This is a great question…we’ve tried not allowing sticks to go through legs but the end result was a pretty frustrating gameplay experience where you would continuously keep losing the puck. Our conclusion was that until there was much more fidelity in the stickhandling/deking control, it was a better experience to allow the sticks to penetrate through legs and not lose the puck unless the defensive player did something such as poke check.

I would love to see proper collision detection added to sticks -- i.e., "stick physics."

Right now, sticks often go into "ghost mode" and clip through everything, including the puck, people and the net.
