    Nice!

      I initially considered the multipul settings would relate more to the offline game to begin with. I would imagine they'd want the EAHL teams and players to be all on the same level. I would hope their default settings for online is full assist off but we'll see what they go with.

        Got the OK to share Jason's reply to my inquiry about the passing settings for ranked/EASHL play:

        It is still an open question what the online settings will be, but I'm pretty sure there will not be as much pass assistance as there was for 09 for EASHL. Whichever way we set it, everyone will play with the same passing settings for EASHL and Versus games.

        I doubt we'd go all the way to zero pass assistance to start with, but we will have the ability to change it, so if there is a strong consensus about it we could.

There's quite a wide range in the passing options. The 09 passing would be at one extreme and the default for online will probably somewhere in the middle of the range.
        Good news, eh?

            Its a start anyway, I'd imagine in wanting to have some appeal to the casuals is why it prolly won't be totally pass assist free. The idea that they will take feedback and are able to tweak it if need be though is quite reassuring that it will be balanced.

              Maybe what they really should do is setup 2 EASHL. One where some pass assist will be allowed and one for fully sim teams wher there is no pass assist.

                That's the better idea.
                Or if you play with full pass-assist it's for non-ranked games only.

                It takes a lot away from the BAP building process if you play with full pass-assist. Because if that's how it's going to be, I won't sink one XP point into my passing. There's no need because with full-assist everyone can dish the puck like Gretzky.

                You need to give those that build playmakers some advantage and value to an EASHL team.

                    What about introducing a certain degree of computer controlled error (how much I don't know) when using full assist that would encourage casual players to learn the manual passing scheme while at the same time not discouraging them completely?

                      Hey Steve, thanks for this arcticle.

                      It was a very good read.

                      Keep us posted if you get anymore info,please.

                      I hope that they add some better features to dynasty. NHL 04 was a lot more interactive then this years. It would be nice to see them copy the "2k" series and add a trading block and have that in-depth trading/negotiation system

                        That's a good idea too. If you're going to use full pass-assist then your player is completely at the mercy of his passing rating. Have a 51 in passing? Don't expect to complete any long-bomb dishes or thread through multiple skates and sticks.

                          Wasn't sure where to write this...Over on the NHL 10 twitter, the author wrote

                          Goalies, goalies, goalies!!! Wicked new saves this year. You'll get your first glimpse on thursday when we debut the trailer for NHL10

                          Speaking of goalies and BAP...we have something that you're going to love. More control anyone?

                          you guys/girls tell me what kind of goalie control you want and we'll see what we can do.

                          Thought some of you might dig that, I know I do.
