NHL 10 Blog: How to Boardplay
EA has just posted another NHL 10 blog. This one talks about boardplay.
"Let me start by saying that boardplay is something that I’ve wanted to see in our game for a long time but the timing just wasn’t right. I remember when we sat down in pre-production for NHL 09, boardplay was on the list of features that we wanted to implement but by the end of prepro, there were just too many other fundamental pieces of hockey that we had to implement first….like a way to defend!"Tags: None -
Re: Board Play Blog
Does this mean that it's now possible to have two players tackle one player at the same time? Or is this some other animations he is talking about?Originally posted by EA BlogAs an aside, I’m very pleased to announce that we have removed ALL two player animations from the game. We took strides towards that in 09 and for 10, we’re finally there. All the credit here goes to our animators and gameplay programmers for not wanting to take the easy way out.Comment

Re: Board Play Blog
Sounds like it. What he's saying is there's no longer any "locking in" when it comes to animations. Which actually should in some ways make the game more dynamic.Comment

Re: Board Play Blog
Yeah. And I love the news from Chase and others how the puck physics have improved.
Both of those should mean the game is going to be more organic.
Man, I can barely wait to try this badboy out.
RealmK, I know our CS team really didn't get off the ground all the much, but we should try to form another team with those guys or others. I'm dying to get back into EASHL play.
Of course, all the goals scored because I jumped in the play from the blueline are not my fault. The goalie should know I'm going to do that.

Re: Board Play Blog
The fact that they have removed all two player animations is very exciting for me. This could do wonders for the weight and physics of NHL.
I wish EA's football games would remove all the two player animations.EA: Please add in-game saves.Comment
