Re: NHL 10 Demo Impressions
Before I read through 13 pages (and I will soon, but I'm just curious about this right now) has anybody noticed that the "one-handed deke" from last year is gone? AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!!! Seriously. I couldn't stand that last year. The only time you see those is when someone rarely does them in shootouts. Soooo many times the one-handed animation screwed up my backhand shots etc...
So far, from what I've seen, the animation is gone. Anybody else notice or see otherwise? Thoughts?Comment

Re: NHL 10 Demo Impressions
the game will be downloaded under your profile so even if its on your hard drive it wont work if he loads HIS profile, your profile needs to be on the HD with the demo and you load it at his house but cant give it to himI think this will work (never tried it though), you would need to move his XBox profile to your 360, download the game and then move the profile back.
I would not recommend using xbox profile recovery to move the account, a memory card would be safer if you have one available. Otherwise make sure you know what the consequences of doing the recovery would be for your friend.
I'm not sure that it would cause your friend problems, but I have a suspicion that he might loose information when he re-recovers it on his xbox.

Re: NHL 10 Demo Impressions
the guys that play on hardcore allstar/superstar....I know that the USER passing is realistic...how is the CPU passing? are they tape to tape like last year or do they also misfire on passes and use bank passes?
thanksComment

Re: NHL 10 Demo Impressions
It is not, unfortunately. It will be the level down from that, Normal I believe.
I'm just as disappointed as you are. Passing is kind of my thing. It's how I got to play div. 1 last year. I am in no way a very skilled forward. If I ended up trying some of the things my teammates were doing, I ended up looking foolish. I was a valuable cog in the wheel because of my positioning, defence and most importantly my play making.
This would've really seperated the average passers from the great passers. It's too bad.Comment

Re: NHL 10 Demo Impressions
Love what I'm seeing from hardcore mode so far. Passing is superb.
Accidentally tripped Brad Stuart but after the play he came up to me and gave a face wash. He ended up getting a penalty as well when I didn't respond and just let him give it to me. Nice to see two different penalties on the same play sequence.Comment

Re: NHL 10 Demo Impressions
On the whole at least with the sliders locked in the demo it is still a bit too tape to tape. They do use bank passes and they do misfire at times especially when under lots of pressure. Also with the puck being more live on hard wraps around the boards or dump ins it can skip over both your players sticks and the cpu's as well. There's no more suction when it comes to taking control of the puck on either the human or cpu side.Comment

CPU is too tape to tape, especially in Hardcore mode, but I believe that will be fixable with CPU specific passing sliders.EA SPORTS Game Changer

Re: NHL 10 Demo Impressions
CPU is still too tape to tape. Not as bad as before mind you, but still too accurate. On the plus side, I did see a separate CPU passing accuracy slider in the menuComment

Re: NHL 10 Demo Impressions
Heh, I just went to xbox.com and subscribed to xbox live gold for one month JUST TO GET THIS GAME DEMO.
And it's so awesome and was totally worth it.
I've played about 10 games, only managed to score twice. Both were passes back to Lidstrom in his favorite position. I've lost all games where my team were not already in the lead when I took over though.
I'm playing on default skill level (Pro) and Hardcore style, love the passing!
I've seen the AI do some one-on-one dekes against me when I try to hit him, something I never saw last year.
Seen some great new goalie animations this year, and goalies seem better overall than last year.
Board play is great, and I've already seen how useful it can be. Had it not been for boardplay the other team would have got possession over the puck and got it out of their zone. Board play allowed me to kick it off to a team mate, pass it around and get a shot at goal.
Great stuff.

Re: NHL 10 Demo Impressions
Three things I didn't care for in 09:
When you move the stick with the right thumbstick the player couldn't move his feet. In the NHL players can stick handle and skate at the same time. I'm assuming this is still the case in 10?
Only the blade of the stick had any kind of collision detection. When cutting to the slot the shaft of the players stick could go right through another players skates/legs/stick - is that still the case?
You could wind up a slapshot right in front of a CPU opponent and he wouldn't react and interrupt your shot. Is it harder to get shots off with guys in close to you?
ThanksComment

Re: NHL 10 Demo Impressions
How is the broakcast camera? I love the other games broadcast camera anglt. That's how I watch hockey and want to be able to play video game hockey the same way.
Last years broadcast camera was in one word, Bad. Can someone show a screen shot maybe of the broadcast angle or is it just like last years?Moderator
