    WOW.

    The deking they show at the end of the video looks great. That is something I wanted to see a long time in the game. It has looked awful for several years.

        The skating and deking at the end of the video was fantastic. Really realistic. Hope not every player can pull off those moves though.

          That's probably where issues will arise unfortunately. My hope is that a player needs to have a certain level of skill in both their skating attributes, as well as their stick/puck attributes to be able to pull off those moves with any sort of regularity.

            Some of those small moves the player does in the video can almost every player do. Its called stickhandling. Something that wasn't there before. At least not so you can notice.

            But not all players can do it as good as the best.

            This is what I think anyway.

              i wish..hope...pray...these kind of moves requires higher attributes and not TGH or lowered rank TWF players.

                Subtle stickhandling has been sorely lacking in the past. This looks very nice.

                  I hope the TGH's are totally redone this year. They are generally irrelevent players in the NHL today, yet the ratings formula forever has tabulated their overall rating in the high 70's and low 80's. I never want to see a TGH in a third line checking role or on the PK unit ever again.

                    Wow, the subtle dekes on the left stick should really smooth out those jerky back and forth dekes.

                      If someone didn't get it what I meant in my post. It was this I tried to say :P

                        I wonder if we're going to see the spin move revamped as a result of the new skating.

                          The deking with the new skating playing a part of it, looks pretty organic looking at least in the debug tool. It'll be interesting to see how smooth it looks in game.

                            This is the kind of stuff that makes me realize just how complicated these games are. Some pretty smart people make these games. On a side note, man I miss Versteeg.

                              Agreed!

                              I am a Computer Science student so I, and anyone else who has worked with coding, understand how difficult some of this stuff can be.

                              Hell, some of my simple homework assignments (programs) run about 50-100 lines of code, and sometimes I spend hours trying to fix something wrong with a program. I can't IMAGINE how complicated things get when these guys are dealing with hundreds of thousands of lines of code.

                              I would imagine it's frustrating for them at times when people complain and say "add this" or "add that!" like it's a simple thing, when in all actuality it may be very complicated.
