Thanks for the vid Steve. That looks sweet, a little fast for me, but at least I can turn down the speed.

Definately sweet to see that things are far less canned this year and you actually appear to have complete control over which types of saves to attempt. Awesome job EA!

Looks great. Playing goalie was a lot of fun in 09, but once you got the basics down, you pretty much hit a ceiling with how good you could get. Sure there were a few tricks, but there wasn't enough control over the goalie. Now, with these new controls, the position just got 100%+ deeper to play. Should be a lot of fun.

Here's to hoping more BAP info is coming soon.

Nice. Very improved over last year's goalie controls. I can't tell you how many times I was stuck to the post when I didn't want to be.

Very welcomed news for goalies

I can't for whatever reason see the video though, same with all videos here. Can see the small one in this thread but clickin it redirects me to the video page which is just empty

Looks great for goalies. Gameplay was crazy too. Agility looks like it's through the roof if the EA staff were using defensive defensmen on defense. Did you guys see those turns?! However, while I was watching the video I felt like I was actually at my rink watching a game going on in fast forward, which is still a good thing. Speed looks like it may be an issue for NHL 10 but, the game looks real which is the important thing. Great video and great news for my goalie. That's you Tyler.

They were just testing the 99 glitch

Good to see the goalie controls getting an improvement. I still don't know how anyone managed to play goalie in 09.

These controls will make a Goalie BAP so much better.

Those controls are so much deeper, it's going to be an entirely new game for the human netminders. It should make my time-killer goalie BAP much more interesting, assuming I even have the time to kill since it looks like GM mode will be killer...

But yeah, the agility/turn radius is so far off, it's not even funny. Sometimes you'll see guys take short little strides or cut hard on their edges and it's not too bad. Then sometimes they'll just magically do a 180 with little or no transition. Odd and frustrating... they need to address this to take the gameplay to the next level.
