Is there actually going to be an advantage in NHL 10 of using larger players? In the corners will they use their size to their advantage? Will they be harder to knock off the puck? Or knock down in general? Too often I saw Kyle Wellwood flatten a guy like Ryan Getzlaf like they were the same size. There was really no need to have a physical checking line in NHL 09. Whereas in NHL 2k8 (for example) it was a good idea to have physical players who could throw their weight around. Anyone care to weigh in on this?

That was a huge problem in NHL 09, because like you said it makes your checking lines useless. EA really needs to make it so that size matters as well as skill. 2k9 did this very well and fixing that would go a long way towards making EA hockey a bit more realistic. Great point. Collin white should play much differently then Zach Parise.
