What additions and improvements have been made to Be A Pro Mode?

Re: Playing the NHL 10 Beta this weekend, any questions?

Are there...

-Correct International jerseys, or the same old flags?

-Any type of Olympic game mode or same old torunament? Is there a playable olympics in Be a GM? or is their an all star game?

-Any new teams besides the Swiss League? i.e. the missing teams of the KHL: Dinamo Minsk, Dynamo Riga, Barys Astana?

- How is the [defensemen] point play in the offensive zone (I havent played the demo yet)? Last year it seemed too 'stiff' for lack of a better term.

Any chance you can have more than one user in franchise modes?

EA has said that there can be more than one user and also do a fantasy draft.

Also, can you explain the effect the new controls have when playing as a goalie? Is it more intuitive or is the best method still just trying to position the goalie in the right spot so the computer can make the play on the puck?

Edit: Can you also find out what how the player type "Tough Guy" differs from the other base player choices and how you earn the different cards to get more attribute points in the EASHL? Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions!

Unfortunately, still not real international jerseys, just the flags, according to an interview with one of the devs, who said it was too difficult getting the license for those jerseys. Why, I have no idea, since they have all those leagues.

Also, no Olympics mode.

Another question: What season lengths are there in season mode and GM mode? Hopefully you can play shorter seasons (20, 40 games) and not just 82.

The international jerseys used are controlled by the governing body of each country's hockey program, Hockey Canada, USA Hockey, etc. They would have to work out a deal with every countries governing body in order to use them. Considering how many countries they put in the game, that could be a pretty significant amount of work.

Has anyone found any supposed "glitch goals"?

[ps3veron]

Have they completely removed that bug that kept PS3s resetting when trying to quite the game? Are they aware of this?

What AHL team is Anaheim affiliated with and who shares ti with them? Hopefully Florida has their own AHL team now.

I think EA has to get the IIHF license. In NHL 2004 they had authentic jerseys for the world cup. I wish they would at least make the jersey look half way decent.

Still trying to find out if we have an alternating view while playing with the action cam? Not just skating "up" ice for the entire game.
