Poor collision detection again. Letang put his leg right through Kronwall's leg. It takes an incredible amount of skill to do that. Kronwall's skate goes through the boards when he kicks the puck to Hossa.

Re: NHL 10 Video: Board Play

Overall the animation looks brilliant. It looked a little odd with the defense being so timid about making a play on Kronwall, so I want to see more gameplay vidoes of boardplay in the future.

Also, did anyone else notice the ESPN score bar at the top left of the screen? Yessssirrrrr!

There is no game I know of that doesn't have collision detection issues. Even the so-called greatest video game ever -- The Show -- is terrible for that.

When consoles have 2+ gigs of ram, feel free to bitch about collision detection. Until that happens you're not going to get perfect collision detection its just not gonna happen.

On topic, game is looking like its coming right along, thanks to Litty and the gang for getting us some early peeks at the game 4 months out.

Re: NHL 10 Video: Board Play

Do you think anyone is going to use this online??

The throat protector isnt animated? It looks like a tool like that!

Nice to see Fleury use his power leg to get into position for the next save

His pads are wrong though

Nice to see the writing in the ice for the finals

Is the Stanley Cup on the playoff patch on the ice?

I think the non-cheesers will use it because it has been said that it protects you from getting knocked down along the boards, i can see people actually abusing it if its not done right, imagine someone speeding down the boards from the blue-line and a second before they get checked into the boards like 09 (if the defender has an angle), they "turtle" into the boardplay animation to "absorb" the hit.

If it works too well, it could be a problem, if its done right it could drastically improve realism and allow some realistic puck possession and the ability to actually play dump and chase correctly

Re: NHL 10 Video: Board Play

A few questions:

Why does Letang just wait there? It looks kinda odd with him just standing there.

Has the neutral zone play changed? Because it kinda looks the same from the small sample of video.

Re: NHL 10 Video: Board Play

I just hope the AI isn't so slow like Letang was there.
