Re: NHL 11 Short Video

that was bad ***! But his skate went into the wall. Probably should be a broken foot or leg, if that was real.

Re: NHL 11 Short Video

Damn...that left leg got messed up.

Re: NHL 11 Short Video

Yeah I think that hit looked pretty realistic. And wasn't over the top or anything like that.

Just the thought that the players size and weight is supposed to really matter for '11', is enough for me to really look forward to this years game.

Looks great.

next-gen.

It would be awesome if injuries are tied to physics that closely. Not sure how it will play out, as I didn't see many injuries. I can remember one after I absolutely crushed someone with Brooks Orpik. Guy left holding his head after getting plastered into the boards... it could've been physics-related (ie, his head whipped violently on the hit) or maybe it wasn't. Hard to tell without a lot of gameplay and a lot of injuries.

As for the video in general... believe me, there is much to be excited about with the new physics system. I started a playoff mode with the Pens the other night (series tied 1-1 w/OTT), but it just doesn't feel right after playing 11...

looks good but hopefully like backbreaker we'll never see the same thing twice

Re: NHL 11 Video: Realtime Physics

I can definitely enjoy hits like that!

sweet...why cant madden do this?

Re: NHL 11 Video: Realtime Physics

It's a good start. Would like to see more in different situations not just a pick and choose but it's really the way to go now in all sport games.

Something maybe Qb can answer : when a big team play physical, one of the effect is to drain energy from players being constantly hit. Example; small size players from Montreal first and second line were exhausted from being hit by huge Flyers defencemen. So my question ( finally ;-) do you think they modelled the fact being hit consume energy ?

That's something they started to bring into the game with intimidation last year. I almost positive Redshirt told me he wants to implement -- and I believe he was/is working on it -- something very similar to what you describe in the fatigue system. But fatigue was wonky on the build we played, most likely because it was a work in progress.

That looked pretty good. I wish he would have included more instances of RTP in effect. This will be my first NHL game in a looong time!
