    Re: NHL 10 Video: Board Play

    The backwards skating looks weird. The players are not crossing over. Kronwall is also shuffling his feet from side to side, without even digging into the ice.

      Regarding the AI in this video, I'm going to guess one of two things.

      1) This build doesn't have the improved AI they've mentioned will be there.
      2) This is on Rookie for the purpose of demoing their new features.

      I'm not going to cry about AI til I actually play.

        I think Letang is like WTF is this guy doing at first as it was not really a situation were you would protect the puck im sure it was just to demonstrate the new move, so it took him a while to go pin him.
        I doubt its going to be perfect but it is a very welcome addition.

          4 months away, the game isn't near finished yet. Prolly set on rookie for demo purposes. I think its far too early to get all worried yet. Did like hearing Litty say there's 100 new goalie animations though.

            150 new goalie animations? They were talking already about goalie improvements in the last vid. I may never score another goal as long as I play this game.

            Oh and the kicking animation is cool but I wonder what happens if an opponent is standing too close and gets kicked in the junk? Match penalty?

              As others have mentioned, the collision detection looked bad. It was insane (fake) how quickly Hossa was skating backwards after picking up the puck behind the net.

              The NHL developers have earned the benefit of the doubt in my book so I'm going to chalk those two things up to this being an early build of the game.

              Can't wait for launch day!

                Still catching my breath from that game tonight!

                Anyway, thanks for the vid, good to see. Liked the Stanley Cup Logo on the ice. Hopefully they get the patches on the jerseys too, pretty please. Steal Madden's technology for putting it on the uniforms.

                Should be fun to work the boards and cycle with multi player and teammates online.

                    I could only see half of it. While it did have an ESPN-ish look to it, I don't think we should jump to conclusions. And yes, I know 'ESPN' was on the dry-erase board in Littman's first video...

                    I'm not sure how much it will be used in OTP/EASHL play initially, but if it's effective, people will eventually use it, possibly even abuse it. If done well, I think it could be a great addition for versus play with two guys who play the right way.

                    The "Stanley Cup Playoffs" logo caught my eye as well. It's a small addition in the big picture, but welcome and overdue.

                        LOL, go have another toke, bud. There wasn't even an iota of presentation in that vid. It was all gameplay.

                          Wow thats amazing, you could tell everything about presentation from a minute long demo of a very early beta build! Fail post of the day congrats.

                            NHL troll of the day!

                            Looks good...150 new goalie animations are great to hear...hopefully that keeps the goalie from flopping around and diving in situations that really did not call for that type of save in the past.

                            My gut thinks it will as the goalie now has a larger database of moves to go to....which may have been the problem in the past. With only a few save options perhaps the goalie AI thought the floopy dive was warrented.

                            As usual I see whiners crying about stuff when it was obvious Littman was going straight to the boards to demonstrate the board animations.

                            Always glad to see some gameplay enhancements. The fans smacking the glass is a nice touch....(ps I think your a dueche in real life if you do that, but hey to each his own).

                              I quit playing J.S. Giguere over Hiller as the Ducks because Jiggy would give up the worst goals. Desperation when they pass across the ice at the point/high slot area...? REALLY?

                              It may just be my poor luck but whenever he was goalie he scared the piss out of me with his silly desperation antics.
