NHL11 to have Goal reviews!

[JezFranco]

Some leaked info on a swedish sports forum.

What's not mentioned in the interview but in the article is that Ramjagsingh mentioned that there will be GOAL REVIEWS... which has also been semi confirmed by some of the CD atendee's.

And Manual passing as a default setting is also mentioned in that article.
[Edit]: Misread that. It's actually mentioned that "manual passing was an option in NHL10, but EA has now taken the decision to make it available for most game modes..."

Interesting. I wonder if there will be a cutscene in the Zebra circle when there is a review? I hope they also show the ref taking the headset and conferencing with the officials upstairs or whether the war room will be consulted on tough calls? Maybe we'll find out more next week.

Re: NHL11 to have Goal reviews!

This is awesome but how does this work? I haven never seen a goal called incorrectly.. It is either in or its not. I have played over 3,000 games of NHL since NHL 07 and I have never once seen an incorrect call on a goal...

Re: NHL11 to have Goal reviews!

It's abit annoying... they have stumbled on some hot information, but the article is just written like a small note. I can't really tell if the writer of the article pushed the questions or making some stuff up.

Translation:
Don't Hit the puck with a high stick!
What's not mentioned in the interview with Ramjagsing is that there will be a goal review. So the ref will be able to approve or disapprove doubtful goals when there's confusion.
So like real life, the ref will be able to call the video goal judge to see if the puck went in correctly.

I actually had a goal last night that went over Brodeurs shoulder and hit the netting(full puck over the line and touching the net in between the crossbar and post), and it dropped on the goal line. He swiped at it and sticked it to the corner. Def a goal. Would have tied it late too. A lil disappointing. Oh well, next years release should be amazing.

Re: NHL11 to have Goal reviews!

Yes, I translated the article into english and it said "Finishing line cameras and goal reviews will be in NHL 11 according to Rammer (Co-producer nhl 11)."

This has also been confirmed by a community day attendee via EA NHL Fourm

I've had goals go in that were not called goals. Also this will be sweet for a little extra suspense when goals trickle along the line. Lastly, goals batted out of the air that are hit above the post will be disallowed.

I hope they can be turned off, I hate them in real life and they are completely unnecessary in a video game where the computer already knows the result.

I actually agree.

I have a feeling it may lead to nothing but extra time added to video games. Similar to like Madden, where you get some weird call only so we can have a goal review.

Re: NHL11 to have Goal reviews!

I think this is a pretty cool addition.

But like another poster said, I too have never really had what I would consider a questionable goal that I recall.

To be completely honest, I do think this a worthwhile feature. But not personally a high priority.

Re: NHL11 to have Goal reviews!

I'm wondering about this too... like someone already mentioned;
If the puck is in on the replay, it must've been in before the replay too. So the CPU should know that already.

However, you've all seen pucks attached to defenders sticks that is actually in the own goal. maybe its situations like that...?

Or it could be for situations where perhaps you suspect high sticking or foul play.

Tbh, I dont know... at first it sounds like a great little addition, but the more you think about it, it feels odd that you could request a digital media to re-calculate it's first initial result.
Like pressing the = on your calculator twice... just to check.

Maybe with the new physics pucks will bounce in off feet more.
