Authenticity?

But, yeah.... that'll work as a good example.

The sad thing is, they did recognize it for one glorious year (I think it was 11?) and then it mysteriously vanished, so it's not like it hasn't been in the game before. For all the "real time presentation" stuff they put out, I would've had no problem with bringing back that old group goal celebration cutscene after the zoom in on the goal scorer...

*sigh* Oh well...

What the hell is Fleury doing on the second goal? What NHL goalie goes paddle down when the D man has the puck at the blue line? Paddle down is for pucks that are around or near the crease. For god sakes EA this is so simple. All you have to do is watch a goalie in an NHL game and see what he does. I can guarantee you that the goalie is not going paddle down when the puck is at the blue line. That's mite crap. Fleury should have been on his feet trying to look for the puck around the players in front of him. Instead he goes paddle down to try and see past the screen and where his blocker would have been, it's not there and the puck goes in. I can see this happening if the puck is at the bottom of the circles or somewhere closer but not from that far away. If he just does a simple butterfly he would have even made the save. God that is just flipping aggravating.

I would love for goalies to make mistakes during the course of a game, but this mistake should never ever happen. No goalie does what Fleury did in that situation. Especially an NHL-er. You don't move your blocker to the ice to totally expose the top corner of the net when the puck is 64 ft away from you. I hate to bash this game already when I haven't even played it but when something as dumb as this is in the game it is so easy to do it. Fixed the goalies my butt. I couldn't even watch the rest of the video after that happened.

Agreed, I'm kinda surprised the RTP is actually smoother than I thought it would be, rough around the edges a bit, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out going forward into retail.

In the flow of the game, the puck doesn't really look very "glued" to anything.
