And seem to be actually skating, and not skittering along the top of the ice like waterbugs (as is the case with another hockey game, the name of which escapes me).

You have a point!

FYI and something I discovered while editing NHL 08 and 09. The CPU seldoms dumps in that game as well, but is much more inclined to do so if their ratings are lowered. Too many players have high default speed ratings and are therefore able to skate unmolested into the opposition's zone. So that's what the AI has them do. But when those ratings are lowered 15-20 points (to where they belong, ahem), the AI seems to change things up and have those slower players dump the puck. I guess the programming determines they're not fast enough to skate around in the opposition's end without getting checked.

...its horrible.

How anyone says this is better than NHL 10 is beyond my comprehension.

Arcadey as hell and what the hell was WWTC thinking??? 2 empty net goals against???

Man. Pretty sure I just went from a later purchase to no purchase at all.

The puck suctions to goalies HORRIBLY...the puck physics in general don't come CLOSE to NHL 10.

Oy...

Another good looking video. I'm so glad that my main issue with game play seems to be fixed and that's the cpu defensemen. They all look to be in pretty good position and not playing catch up all the time like 2k9. The animations are the best to date in any game I have seen. Like seeing the ref flatten himself against the boards to get out of the way. Puck movement is very nice and the CPU seems super aggressive. Very well done.

Also liked seeing the flyers shoot it off the boards. What a thing of beauty watching them cycle the puck before getting a shot off. The more I see, the more I like.
